England international Ryan Hall will leave Leeds Rhinos at the end of the 2018 season.
The 30-year-old has been with Leeds since making his debut in 2007 and is the club’s fifth highest try scorer of all time with 231 tries in 327 appearances. He is also a six-time Grand Final winner
On the international stage, Hall has become a global superstar, scoring his 35th try for England in the recent win over New Zealand, but he is out of contract at the end of the current campaign.
Leeds Rhinos Director of Rugby Kevin Sinfield said: "Naturally we are disappointed to lose a player of the quality of Ryan Hall.
"The club were keen to keep him here and we made him an offer that reflected his standing in the game.
"I know that Ryan will be doing everything between now and the end of the season to make sure his time at the club ends on the best possible note."
Hall added: "I have had twelve amazing seasons as a Leeds Rhinos player and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together.
"For me personally, I feel that this is the right time for a new challenge after such a long period at the club and my decision in no way reflects on the Rhinos.
"Words cannot really do justice to how much representing my home town club and enjoying so much success has meant to me.
"My focus now is on the remainder of this season and putting the Rhinos in the best possible position for next season and beyond."
