"He has gone to every home game this last season and got a golden season ticket for next season, and will be attending Ronnie the Rhino’s Christmas party in December.
"He hopes to play for them one day.”
Archie is a pupil at Bywell Junior School and plays for Batley Boys ALFC.
He says on his fundraising page: “Myself and my mum are joining Kevin Sinfield and completing my own 7 in 7 challenge."
