Leeds Rhinos announce capture of Samoan international prop in eighth off-season addition

Leeds Rhinos have confirmed the signing of Sam Lisone on a two-year contract from Gold Coast Titans. As first revealed by Leeds Rhinos, the Samoan international joins the club on a two-year contract ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Capped four times by Samoa, Lisone arrives despite being under contract at the Titans, where he only signed a new deal last year. He was a regular earlier in the season but was dropped by Justin Holbrook midway through the season and didn't return to first-team action. It's unclear how much the Titans have tipped in as part of the deal that sees him arrive at Headingley.

Lisone has over 150 games of NRL experience as well as four caps for Samoa. He could also be joined at the club by partner Georgia Hale, the vice captain of the New Zealand Ferns. Leeds are hopeful she will join the club to be part of their women's side.
