Rhyse Martin to Leave Leeds Rhinos After Season

Leeds Rhinos forward Rhyse Martin has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season after rejecting an improved contract offer. The 31-year-old Papua New Guinea international, who joined the Rhinos in 2019, has been a key player, contributing significantly with 35 tries and 408 goals in over 120 appearances. Leeds sporting director Ian Blease expressed disappointment at Martin's decision, indicating the club was eager to retain him. Martin is expected to join Hull KR, which has emerged as the leading contender for his signature for the 2025 season. Despite his departure, Blease noted that Martin would remain committed to the team for the remainder of the season. The club will now look for new opportunities as they rebuild following recent changes.
