Teenage talent Walker vows to do justice to iconic number seven shirt
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 24, 2025
Rising star Ruby Walker has vowed to do justice to her ‘special’ Leeds Rhinos squad number.
The teenager, who played for the Dewsbury Moor community club before joining Leeds’ youth system, made her first-team debut last August and scored three tries and six goals in four appearances during 2024. She started only once, but Caitlin Casey's move to Saints created an opportunity and Walker was promoted into the number seven jersey in pre-season.
That's an iconic number at Leeds and the scrum-half admitted: “I am really honoured and very pleased. I feel like it is one of the best numbers to be given in a Leeds team and I want to really work and prove why I've been given it.”
