From the moment Luke Gale left Leeds Rhinos last winter the club initiated a retention process that saw them tie down and extend contracts of some of their top talent. The likes of Harry Newman, Morgan Gannon and Mikolaj Oledzki were all offered and signed new long-term deals.
Months have passed since then and at the start of May players whose contracts expire at the end of the season will be free to speak to rival clubs. From a Leeds Rhinos perspective, there are several players who are currently in the final year of their existing deal but of the most interesting on that list is Jack Broadbent.
The 21-year-old from Batley enjoyed a fine breakthrough season last year and showed his potential in a campaign in which the Rhinos regularly relied on his services as injuries hit the Headingley club hard.
