Bentley released by Rhinos

Leeds Rhinos have today released back row James Bentley from the remainder of his contract with immediate effect.

Bentley joined the Rhinos in 2022 from St Helens and the 27-year-old had agreed an extension to his contract in April. However, due to a personal matter, both parties have agreed a release from the remainder of his contract to allow Bentley to look at other options for 2026 and beyond in his best interests.

Leeds Rhinos as a club will continue to offer James support.
