Rohan Smith confirmed Kruise Leeming has asked to leave Leeds Rhinos. Leeming, the former captain, is set to depart Headingley after just over three seasons with the club.
Rugby League Live broke the news that Leeming had been granted permission to pursue a deal elsewhere after his representatives initiated conversations last week. It came after the hooker was not selected for the defeat to Castleford Tigers. The Rhinos have approved his request and he is now pursuing a deal elsewhere.
Leeming's next destination remains unclear but Smith confirmed that his departure was being worked on. "He requested a release and he’s been given the opportunity to seek," Smith said.
