Debut: Vs St Helens (A) 10/04/2021
Honours:
Morgan Gannon joined the Rhinos Academy from Siddal in 2019 and follows in the footsteps of his older brother Jacob and his father Jim, who played over 200 games in England with Halifax, Huddersfield, Widnes and Hull KR having moved to the country from Australia where he played for Balmain and is originally from Newcastle, NSW.
Morgan combines his studies at college with training with the Rhinos first team squad and impressed the Rhinos coaching team with his attitude and ability during pre-season. He made a brief appearance off the bench in the pre-season game at Huddersfield in 2021. That season, he made his club debut against St Helens in the Challenge Cup and made 13 appearances and scored one try. He earned England Knights honours too and featured in a friendly against Jamaica.
He earned the 21 shirt for the 2022 campaign and he was a regular in the squad, playing 25 times and scoring six times, including a second half double in an away win over Hull KR at Sewell Group Craven Park. At the end of the season, he was nominated for Super League's Young Player of the Year award.
A tough 2023 season saw Gannon ruled out of the majority of the season. He made eleven first-team appearances and one for the Reserves too. Due to the number of lay offs due to concussions in his early career and, after being sidelined at the start of the 2024 due to a knock suffered in a pre-season against Hull KR, the decision was made that Gannon would miss the entire 2024 season to recover and prepare to go again in 2025.
