Leeds Rhinos have signed hooker Danny Levi from NRL side Canberra Raiders on a two-year deal.

Levi, who played 30 times for Huddersfield Giants in 2022, has represented both New Zealand and Samoa on the international stage.

He signed for Canberra off the back of his first stint in West Yorkshire, having previously played for Newcastle Knights, Manly Sea Eagles, and Brisbane Broncos in NRL.

The 29-year-old is Leeds' third close-season signing after Ethan O'Neill and Jeremiah Matautia.

"Danny is a player with proven quality at the highest level," head coach Brad Arthur told Leeds' website, external.

"His speed around the ruck, defensive toughness, and leadership will be a massive asset for us.

"We've been deliberate in building a squad with energy, ambition and depth, and Danny fits that profile perfectly. We're excited to see the impact he will make both on and off the field."
