Ash Handley explains why new Leeds Rhinos contract was big decision

Ash Handley has signed a new long-term deal with Leeds Rhinos. The England international has put pen to paper on a new contract that will see him remain with the club until the end of 2026.

The 27-year-old, a product of the club's Academy, has played 183 times for the club, scoring 107 tries. He has been introduced to the fullback role under Rohan Smith, having spent the majority of his career on the wing. It was there where he made his England debut in April, scoring a hat-trick.

"It was a big decision for me, especially with a young family to think about now," Handley said. "It was important to take my time to make the right decision and I am delighted to be staying. I have been here all my career and I love this club. I want to be part of it and I want to help the club get back up to where we want to be.
