Leeds Rhinos contracts - revealing who has been offered new deal
Former England winger Tom Briscoe and youngsters Jack Broadbent and Muizz Mustapha have all been offered a new contract by Leeds Rhinos.
The three are listed as “terms offered” on a compilation of players coming out of contract at the end of this season which has been circulated to all clubs by the Rugby Football League.
According to the circular, Adam Cuthbertson, Tyler Dupree and Rhys Evans are “not yet determined” and Wellington Albert, Richie Myler and Stevie Ward haven’t been made an offer.
Briscoe, 30, is set to make his comeback from exactly a year out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury when Rhinos restart their Betfred Super League campaign against Huddersfield Giants on Sunday, August 2.
Centre Broadbent, 19, has featured on loan at Batley Bulldogs and dual registration with Featherstone Rovers, but not yet made a first team appearance for Leeds.
Mustapha, a 20-year-old former England academy prop, played once for Leeds last year and has appeared in the lower divisions with Newcastle Thunder, Dewsbury Rams and Featherstone Rovers.
Forward Cuthbertson is the oldest member of Rhinos’ squad, at 35, but was a substitute in all five games before the Covid-19 shutdown.
Neither Evans nor Dupree have made a first team appearance for Leeds.
Ex-Warrington Wolves outside-back Evans, 27, joined them from Bradford Bulls in January and was loaned back the following month.
Dupree, 20, played four times as a substitute on loan at York City Knights last year.
As reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, back-rower Ward and half-back Myler are both set to join Toronto Wolfpack.
Papua New Guinea prop Albert, 25, played seven times for Rhinos last year after a move from Widnes Vikings and is currently on loan at Featherstone.
Hooker Brad Dwyer, who penned a one-year deal in 2019, is not mentioned in the document, suggesting he has re-signed.
