Kiwi star Eastwood joins Leeds

09:13 am on 27 August 2008

The New Zealand rugby league international Greg Eastwood has agreed to join the Super league club Leeds for three years.

Eastwood replaces the England forward Gareth Ellis, who is set to join Wests Tigers.

The Brisbane Broncos star was given his Kiwi debut by current Rhinos coach Brian McClennan in the Anzac Test of 2006.

He says he can't wait to link up with McClennan after the World Cup.

McClennan says Eastwood is only 21 so Leeds is getting a player who has huge potential and is at the early stage of his career.
