Leading Super League referee Ben Thaler, who has been suspended for the last month, has been cleared of any wrongdoing.

The Rugby Football League stood down the 38-year-old official pending the outcome of an investigation.

Thaler is in his 20th season as a professional referee and has regularly featured in Challenge Cup finals and Grand Finals.

He has not refereed a game since the opening round of the 2020 season, when he was in charge of Leeds' 30-4 defeat to Hull on February 2.
