James Segeyaro: On-loan Leeds Rhinos hooker signs deal to 2018

James Segeyaro made his Leeds debut in a 20-15 win at Hull KR on 8 July

Leeds Rhinos hooker James Segeyaro has confirmed he will stay with the club until 2018 after opting to extend his short-term move from NRL side Penrith.

Segeyaro has scored five tries in seven games for Leeds since signing for the club in June as part of a deal which saw Zak Hardaker move the other way.

The 25-year-old started his career with North Queensland Cowboys, before moving to Penrith in 2013.

Leeds are top of the Qualifiers table, having won all four of their games.
