Super League legend Jamie Peacock has returned to former club Leeds in a commercial role.

Peacock, 40, has spent the past three seasons as Hull KR’s Football Manager, as well as exploring several other interests away from the sport, including his No White Flag business.

During his playing days, he won a record nine Super League Grand Finals, four Challenge Cups and four World Club Challenge titles for the Rhinos and Bradford.

Following the £45 million re-development of Emerald Headingley Stadium, Peacock will work alongside the commercial team at the stadium to attract new partners to the club as well as creating an elite group of partners to use the new facilities.

He said: “You only need to look around Emerald Headingley Stadium to see how exciting the future is for the club. The Board of Directors have invested heavily in creating a world class venue and the challenge now is to support that vision by creating an environment in which the off field business can match that ambition.”
