Rhinos secure deal for Fiji star Sivo for 2025

Maiko Sivo scored 104 tries in 115 NRL appearances for the Eels

Leeds Rhinos have signed Fiji wing Maika Sivo from Australian club Parramatta Eels on a three-year deal.

The 31-year-old, who is currently playing for his national side at the Pacific Championships, had been with Parramatta since 2019, scoring more than a century of NRL tries.

Sivo's switch to Headingley will reunite him with Leeds coach Brad Arthur, who was in charge of Sydney club Parramatta for 10 years.

He becomes the Rhinos' fourth recruit since the end of the 2024 Super League campaign, following the arrivals of Samoa's Keenan Palasia, Australian second-rower Cooper Jenkins and full-back Jake Connor from Huddersfield Giants.

"Brad is a big part of who and where I am today," said Sivo. "When he flicked me the message to ask if I wanted to come to Leeds, I said 'I'm coming'.

"It was a big decision for me and my partner to come to the other side of the world but straight away we were excited for the challenge ahead."
