The 24-year-old winger, who made 10 appearances for the Rhinos from 2014-16 before moving to Featherstone,
has been drafted straight into Brian McDermott's squad for Wednesday's re-arranged Betfred Super League
game against Catalans Dragons. Briscoe, who earlier this season equalled the British record for tries in 17 consecutive games held by
former Leeds winger Eric Harris, is set to replace Ryan Hall, who is away on England duty in Denver. Leeds were able to make a change to their original 19-man squad because half-back Jordan Lilley
failed a late fitness test.

Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington said: "Firstly we would like to thank Featherstone, who we have
an excellent relationship with.
"This is a good example of how a young player can go from playing in Super League to the Championship
and still continue his development and potential.
"Luke's try scoring exploits in the Championship this season have been exceptional.''
Briscoe, younger brother of Leeds' former England winger Tom, has been signed on loan to the end of the
season but he will continue to be available to the Championship club on dual registration,
possibly as soon as Saturday, when Rovers play Sheffield.
A Featherstone spokesperson said: "We are proud to boast a hugely-successful and fruitful partnership
with Leeds Rhinos, which has benefited our club a great deal over the past three years.
"The Rhinos have been there for us in our hour of need, on several occasions and Leeds have come to us
for support during a difficult period of their own as injuries continue to hamper them."
