Lisone commits future to Rhinos

Leeds Rhinos have agreed a contract extension with prop Sam Lisone that will keep the former Gold Coast Titan at Headingley until at least the end of the 2025 season. 

Lisone joined Leeds this season and played his 150^th career game in the Rhinos win over Huddersfield Giants last Friday.

He started his career at New Zealand Warriors, making his first grade debut in 2015, and has been capped four times by Samoa.   

Commenting on this extension, the 29-year-old said, "I am excited to be staying at the Rhinos and I am grateful to the club for wanting me to stay here. I feel like I am building into the season and now getting to where I want to be playing. I love it here at the Rhinos and I love the city, the fans here are really vocal. Playing at Headingley when the fans are going off; there is no better feeling and you just want to go out there and give it your all."

Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Rohan Smith added, "I am pleased for Sam that we have agreed this extension with him. He has really settled into our group and he is beginning to show what he can do on the field now. It is always a big decision to move to the other side of the world so it is pleasing that he feels so at home here at the Rhinos and I am sure that will help him to continue to build his performances."
