Burrow died at the age of 41 last week after a four-and-a-half-year battle with motor neurone disease.

Leeds Rhinos intend to form a permanent tribute to Rob Burrow at their Headingley home as they continue to mourn the death of their former player.

And the club announced on Sunday that they will liaise with Burrow’s family on how to turn shirts and other items which have been left at Headingley into a permanent memorial. “The club will make a decision, in conjunction with Rob’s family, how to use the shirts and items to form a permanent tribute at the stadium, most likely somewhere in the South Stand to recall where people came to remember Rob this week.”

The statement continued: “The club are co-ordinating with the Burrow family around the details of Rob’s funeral, which will take place in early July.
