Rugby league legend Rob Burrow has died at the age of 41, Leeds Rhinos have announced.
Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2019, just two years after retiring from a stellar 17-season rugby league career.
His former club has announced his death today. The Burrow family released a statement paying tribute to him, which was also shared on the Leeds Rhinos website and it reads, "It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our beloved son, husband, father, brother and friend.
After being diagnosed with the illness, he dedicated himself to raising awareness and funds for the MND community with the support of close friend and former Leeds team-mate Kevin Sinfield.
He won eight Super League titles, two Challenge Cup trophies and three World Club Challenges in an illustrious playing spell with Leeds, while he also represented England and Great Britain internationally.
