Liam Sutcliffe (born 25 November 1994) is an English professional rugby league player for Leeds Rhinos. He primarily plays at Stand Off.

Career

Leeds

Sutcliffe featured in the pre-season friendly against Wakefield in the annual Boxing Day Festive Challenge. Liam broke into the 1st team due to a long term injury to Stand Off Danny McGuire. He made his debut against St Helens and went on to play in the playoffs due to more injuries towards the end of the season. In his debut season he went on to make 18 appearances and scored 7 tries.

In 2014 Sutcliffe featured in Round 1and played in the Challenge Cup Final. In his second season he played 25 games and scored 10 tries and he also kicked 8 goals. He was sent out on loan to the struggling Bradford Bulls on a one-month loan playing 4 games and scoring once before they were relegated.

Sutcliffe featured in more games in 2015. He started games after captain Kevin Sinfield was injured and proved he could score and kick goals which kept Sinfield out of the starting 13. Unfortunate Sutcliffe had an ACL injury which ruled him out for the remainder of the season which meant he missed the Challenge Cup final and Grand Final. He played 15 games scoring 6 times and kicking 25 goals.

After Sinfield retired at the end of 2015 Sutcliffe was promoted to the starting 13 and was given the number 14 shirt. He also played in the World Club Series against North Queensland Cowboys.
