DUAL-CODE Wales international Bethan Dainton has added another big achievement to her growing CV by earning a move to Leeds Rhinos.

The 33-year-old from Hengoed was capped for the first time in league last summer after a successful spell in the 15-a-side game.

Dainton represented Wales eight times, firstly as a winger and then converting to the back row, in addition to playing for the Dragons, Bristol Bears, Harlequins and the Army and the Barbarians.

She won the 2020/21 Premier 15s with Quins but left the club at the end of last year for a fresh challenge in league with Leeds.

Dainton, who also has a background in crossfit, football and athletics, became a dual-code international last summer and is now ready to focus on 13-a-side.

“Switching codes,” she Tweeted. “Couldn’t be happier to have signed for Leeds Rhinos Women for the 2023 season. Super excited and grateful for the opportunity.”

Leeds head coach Lois Forsell said: “Bethan is another strong athlete who has really made an impression since she started playing league.

“She will add leadership skills to our team and I can’t wait to see how she progresses over the season.”
