LEEDS KNIGHTS head into their Yorkshire derby double-header against Sheffield Steeldogs in good form, but with their preparations overshadowed by controversy over former player Bailey Conger.

The 26-year-old quit the club on Wednesday morning ahead of their 4-1 win at Telford Tigers, with the club confirming his exit via social media the following morning.

In a statement, the Knights said: “We can confirm that Bailey Conger has made the decision to leave the team with immediate effect after notifying the club yesterday morning via text.”
