Hauraki, 35, joined Rhinos from Welsh club Crusaders ahead of the 2011 season and scored six tries in 39 appearances before touching down nine times in 56 games for Tigers in 2013-2014.

He played for Leeds at Wembley when they lost to Wigan Warriors in the 2011 Challenge Cup final and was a runner-up again two years later for Castleford against his previous club.

After Tigers, he had four seasons at Salford Red Devils and a stint with Widnes Vikings and then spent two years as a Hull KR player, but was released when his contract expired at the end of last term.
