Harry Newman held talks with clubs in both the NRL and domestic rugby union before committing his long-term future to Leeds: but says his sole focus is now to bring silverware back to Headingley with the Rhinos.
Newman's previous Leeds deal expired at the end of the current season, and there was rumoured to be significant interest from other clubs - and other sports - in his services if he decided to leave the Super League club.
The 21-year-old admitted he did even go as far as holding talks with other clubs about a move away from Headingley, where he started his career in 2017. However, he is now keen to put that to bed after eventually settling on a new three-year contract with Leeds.
