Leigh Leopards quota player problem amid Leeds Rhinos' Nene Macdonald interest

Leigh Leopards must move on one of their quota players after confirming they have one too many contracted for next season. The Leopards, who confirmed 10 new signings as well as a re-brand on Thursday, outlined their current squad plans ahead of their return to Super League.

That will see Zak Hardaker and Ricky Leutele head up their recruitment drive, with the likes of Gareth O'Brien, Oliver Holmes and more also linking up with Adrian Lam's squad for next season. However, one problem has emerged.

At their big Super League launch event, Legh outlined their quota player situation and confirmed that they currently have eight overseas players on their books for 2023. They confirmed that Tom Amone, John Asiata, Blake Ferguson, Edwin Ipape, Ricky Leutele, Nene Macdonald, Ben Nakubuwai and Kai O'Donnell were all contract for next season. Super League rules only permit seven overseas squad members.
