Hall to extend Rhinos career for another season

Leeds Rhinos winger Ryan Hall rejoined Leeds from Hull KR in 2024

Leeds Rhinos winger Ryan Hall has confirmed he is to extend his record-breaking playing career with the Headingley club for another season in 2026.

Super League's all-time top try scorer reached the 500 games landmark in a 12-10 win over Wigan Warriors in March and has now agreed an extension which will see him play on into a 20th campaign.

After announcing the news, Hall insisted he can still "do a job" for the Rhinos after he passes his 38th birthday in November and wants to stick around to help further develop a team he believes is progressing well.

"I have always said if I feel I can still do a job for the team then I would like to continue playing," Hall told the club website. "This is currently my 19th season and it would be great to play a 20th season.

"I have spoken to players who have retired and they always say that you'll know when your time has come but I am enjoying my rugby at the moment and being part of this Leeds Rhinos squad.

"We have got a lot we still want to achieve in 2025 but I am also looking forward to seeing where this squad can go over the next 18 months."

Hall - who previously played for Hull KR and Sydney Roosters - has scored a record 260 tries in Super League, 11 clear of Leigh Leopards' Josh Charnley in second place on 249.

The winger also holds the record for England with 39 - and with 343 in total is 19th in the all-time list of British try scorers in the 130-year history of the game.

Leeds head coach Brad Arthur said: "His record speaks for itself in terms of his try scoring ability but it is his day to day commitment to the team and being his very best that sets a benchmark for the rest of our squad."
