Ronnie Rhino has been a huge part of Leeds Rhinos since making his debut in 1997.  His matchday antics have made him a crowd favourite and Headingley Carnegie is not the same without the appearance from Super League’s best mascot.

His first ten years at the club have been packed full of excitement.  In his first season alone he ran for Parliament and got married!  He has since become a local celebrity, turning on the Christmas Lights in Leeds and being in great demand for functions throughout the city.

Apart from delighting the Rhinos faithful on a matchday Ronnie also likes to get out and about, visiting the Rhinos fantastic supporters.  He works with the Community team on their visits to schools, gives Barrie McDermott and Willie Poching a hand at the Rhinos Activity Camps and even makes guest appearances at birthday parties.
