James Simpson, boss of Rhinos’ Super League-winning wheelchair side, has been appointed assistant-coach to the Lancashire squad for games against Yorkshire under-18s in May and August.
Simpson played for the Leeds and England wheelchair sides before switching to coaching.
He led Rhinos to top spot in Super League and a Grand Final victory last year. Having gained his coaching qualifications, he is understood to be the first wheelchair coach to take a major appointment in the running game and will assist Lancashire boss Shane Eccles, of Wigan.
