Bodene Thompson has dropped the biggest hint yet that he will leave Leeds Rhinos at the end of the season after opening up about his desire to reunite his twins with family. The forward, off-contract at the end of the season, is in the country with his partner, sister and kids but has opened up about the heartache that has been caused through separation with the rest of his family.
Thompson has previously been coy on his future, admitting a stay in Super League and the UK could be an option. But in an interview with Now To Love magazine, 33-year-old Thompson and his partner, Kaea, confirmed they would be taking their family home to reunite with loved ones in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
"When we moved over here and had the kids, we never thought we'd not be able to come back," he said. "It's just us and my sister over here, and we want them to grow up with all of their family around them. Whether it's for good or not, we're not sure yet. But we're excited to come home!"
