Blake Austin has emerged as a potential recruitment option for Super League clubs after he was shopped around for the 2024 season. The Leeds Rhinos halfback is off-contract at the season and seemingly has no deal secured at Headingley next year following recent developments.
The player's agent, Tyran Smith, is understood to have been in contact with clubs over the last seven days figuring out the level of interest in the 32-year-old for next season. Austin is currently in his second season at Headingley having penned a 12-month extension after his first year.
Austin, who produced a magical performance in Leeds' victory over Huddersfield last Friday, is in his fifth Super League season after also having a spell at Warrington Wolves. His availability is an interesting development at a time when there is plenty of secrecy surrounding Rohan Smith's recruitment plans for next year.
