Ryan Hall makes decision on Leeds Rhinos’ future

Leeds Rhinos veteran Ryan Hall has confirmed he will play on next season.

The 37-year-old winger rejoined Rhinos last autumn on a 12-month deal which included an option for 2026 and the club today announced he is now committed for a 20th campaign in professional rugby league.

Hall is Betfred Super League’s all-time leading try scorer with 260 and his 39 touchdowns for England is also a record.

“I have always said if I feel I can still do a job for the team then I would like to continue playing,” Hall said of his new deal.

“This is my 19th season and it would be great to play a 20th. I have spoken to players who have retired and they always say 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.

“This is a special club and I am pleased to have agreed the extension with [sporting director] Ian Blease.

“Now we can focus on building on the opportunity we have given ourselves in the first half of the season.”

Ryan Hall commits to Leeds Rhinos for one more year

Hall’s touchdown in Rhinos’ win at Castleford Tigers last month took him to 343 tries in the British game, lifting him to 19th on the all-time list amd only four players have scored more than his 242 tries – in 342 games – for Leeds.

Hall made his Rhinos debut in 2007 and won six Grand Finals, the Challenge Cup twice – including as man of the match in 2014 – and a World Club Challenge before joining NRL side Sydney Roosters ahead of the 2019 season.

He returned to England with Hull KR two years later and featured in their 2023 Wembley loss to Leigh Leopards and last year’s Grand Final defeat by Wigan Warriors.

Rhinos coach Brad Arthur hailed Hall as “a complete professional”. He 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.

“I am pleased for the Rhinos he will be here in 2026; having an experienced bloke like him around the squad can only bring the very best out of our players.”

Blease added: “Ryan continues to show he can perform at the highest level, week-in, week-out.

“Just as important as his tries on the field is the way he conducts himself around the club, whether that is with his teammates, younger members of the group, club partners or supporters. I am delighted we could agree a deal for next season.”

Ryan Hall has got some news for us all…
