Jack Broadbent was ready to face a 12-week injury layoff following an ankle injury sustained at the start of July.
However, the Leeds Rhinos youngster has taken to Instagram to potentially excite the Leeds faithful with a cryptic message.
He included a photo of himself playing, with the caption “back soon.”
A number of Leeds fans and players have since commented with messages such as “can’t wait to see you back in action,” as the 19-year-old continues his rehab.
Broadbent, who can play in the back-row, halfback, wing, centre and even fullback, made his debut for Leeds back in 2020 against the Catalans Dragons and hasn’t looked back since.
With a confidence that belies his teenage years, Broadbent has delivered for Leeds when it matters most and his early return would be music to many Rhinos fans’ ears.
