Cameron Smith's pride at new Leeds Rhinos deal as forward earns historic squad number

Cameron Smith has revealed his pride at becoming the latest Leeds Rhinos player to wear the historic number 13 shirt after committing his long-term future to the club. Smith, who was one of Leeds' most outstanding talents in 2022, has agreed a new contract that will keep him at Headingley until at least the end of the 2026 season.

He has already made over 100 appearances for his hometown club at the age of just 24, and now looks set to extend that number by a significant margin in the years ahead. Furthermore, Leeds have rewarded his progression by confirming he will wear the number 13 shirt, made famous in recent years by Kevin Sinfield, next season.

Long seen as one of the best talents to emerge from the Leeds academy in years, Smith has shown himself as a key performer for Rohan Smith since the Australian arrived at Headingley earlier this year. And the forward admitted it was an honour to remain at a club he has no desire to leave any time soon.
