Hall rejoined Rhinos last autumn on a one-year deal which included an option for 2026 and the club yesterday confirmed he will play on for a 20th season in professional rugby league. The 37-year-old is Betfred Super League’s all-time leading try scorer, with 260 and his 39 for England is also a record.

His 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. Only four players have scored more than his 242 tries - in 342 games - for Leeds.
