Leigh Leopards’ Keanan Brand has become the latest Super League star to join Love Island.
The 24-year-old is the second Rugby League star to enter the show in recent years, with former Castleford Tigers player Jacques O’Neill appearing in 2022.
Brand came through the Widnes Vikings academy, making 34 appearances for the Championship side before joining Warrington Wolves, where he made three appearances, then Leigh.
Brand was heavily involved in Leigh’s 2021 Championship winning campaign, scoring 14 tries in 36 games for the team.

After being warned about his Love Island rant last year, Jon Wilkin confronted former Castleford player and Love Island contestant Jacques O’Neill ahead of the Super League season.
The first professional Rugby League star to enter Love Island, O’Neill, has since expressed his desire to return to the sport after appearing on the show, telling Sky Sports’ Jenna Brooks: “I hope so to be honest.
“I hope it’s sooner than I think because I miss it, I’ll be honest. When you love a little boy, it never goes away. I want it back.”
