Leeds Rhinos have held talks with Castleford Tigers winger Derrell Olpherts over a move to the club. Rugby League Live understands a deal to bring the speedster to Headingley is being worked on ahead of the 2023 season.
It's thought that a deal is close and while there has been interest elsewhere, a link-up with the Rhinos is his most likely move with talks said to be at an advanced stage. Olpherts is off-contract at the Tigers at the end of the season and looks set to leave the club.
The Rhinos, who are understood to have also signed French international prop Justin Sangare, have seen young outside back Jack Broadbent make the move to Castleford Tigers. Tom Briscoe is also off-contract and has been offered to both full-time and part-time clubs in the past few weeks, suggesting his future at Leeds could also be coming to an end.
