When every Leeds Rhinos player’s contract expires with just five signed beyond 2026

After revealing their shirt numbers for 2025, Leeds Rhinos have confirmed a 30-man squad for the upcoming Super League campaign but seven of those are entering the final year of their Headingley deal.

Four of those seven have shirt numbers in the top 13 including the likes of prop Mikolaj Oledzki meaning that Leeds Rhinos will have some major decisions to make in the coming months. Moreover, all those players in the final year of their deal are able to speak with rival clubs after a rule change brought the deadline forward from May 1st to December 1st. As such, any of those off-contract players can speak with rival clubs.

We’ve gone through the full 30-man Leeds Rhinos’ squad and looked at how long every player has left on their current deals.
