Kevin Sinfield CBE

Former England Rugby League Captain

Kevin Sinfield CBE is one of the most successful players in Super League history.

A former Leeds Rhinos and England Rugby League captain, Kevin played his entire professional career with Leeds.

He captained his club to seven Super League Championships, two Challenge Cups successes and three World Club Challenges.

His individual awards include:

The Lance Todd Trophy (2005)
The Harry Sunderland Trophy (2009 and 2012)
The Golden Boot (2012)
Member of the British Empire (2015)

He holds records as the highest points-scorer in Leeds Rhinos history, the highest points-scorer in Super League history and the third highest points-scorer in British rugby league history.

Kevin Sinfield is the only captain to lead a team to win three back-to-back Super League titles.

Following the end of his rugby league career, Sinfield switched to rugby union to play for Yorkshire Carnegie.

As a charity fundraiser, in 2020, Sinfield completed seven marathons in seven days to raise funds for ex-Leeds teammate Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. In 2021, he took on another challenge, running between the grounds of Leicester Tigers and Leeds Rhinos, a distance of approximately 101 miles, in under 24 hours.

In 2022, Kevin undertook his third fundraiser, running seven ultramarathons in seven consecutive days, beginning at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and concluding at Old Trafford in Manchester.

In 2023, Kevin pushed Rob Burrow in a wheelchair for 26.2 miles at the Leeds Marathon, creating an unforgettable moment of friendship and unity.

Kevin’s fifth challenge was in 2024—Running Home for Christmas, in which he and his team ran over 50km a day for seven days across different regions of the UK.

Kevin’s fundraising efforts have raised over £10m for the MNDA Charity.

Reviews for Kevin Sinfield CBE

"Kevin was very well received – he was incredibly engaging, we had a large audience, and have had some great feedback after the event"
Virtual Event for Multinational Bank
“Kevin's natural ability to articulate his core ideas won him over new fans and he repeated the feat with a talk to over 500 students at a morning assembly the following day. If you are looking for a speaker with a truly outstanding record at club and international level who can strip away in an instant the artificial gloss that surrounds so much of professional sport, then Kevin Sinfield would be first on my list.”
Eton College
“Throughout Kevin's after dinner slot, he offered an insightful view of the road he had taken to get to the top of his sport and profession. He offered an honest view of the highs and lows he has had to endure throughout his career, adding a humorous take on some of the more challenging times. Any questions, even on some of those more challenging subjects, were fielded with thought and consideration. The feedback from the evening included the fact that Kevin's articulation came across as really genuine and inspiring and some even commented that the evening had been one of the best events they had ever attended.”
