Mitch has played rugby since he could hold/kick a ball. Playing all of his career at NORTH LEEDS LEOPARDS. Also recently playing for Roundhegians RUFC and had trials for Yorkshire RL and Yorkshire Academy. In the past, this award has gone to committee members, coaches and a parent. Tonight, for the first time, it goes to a player and one who has been with us the longest, who has stuck through thick and thin, led his sides to glory and - clearly a talent - never been exasperated with those around him, only encouraged and been supportive. Not only has he shown his prowess in the heat of battle, his temperament ideal when constantly targeted, but - and despite his tender years - has coached and even refereed younger teams; embodying the exact spirit of what we stand for. Not only that, but he has done it whilst carrying a famous surname.
