Leeds Rhinos half-back George Brown has signed a contract extension, securing his place at the club until the end of the 2029 Super League season.

19 year old Brown, a product of the Rhinos academy, marked his first-team debut earlier this season.

Speaking to the Rhinos website, Brown said: "I am really pleased to have agreed a long-term deal with the club and I would like to thank Brad Arthur and Ian Blease for having faith in me.

"As our transition coach, Chev Walker’s influence has been a huge boost to me too. We got to both Grand Finals last year with the Academy and Reserves and I am excited to be part of this group going forward in the next few years."

"I would also like to thank all the lads in the squad who have helped me and made me feel at home in the first team squad.

"We have got players who have been around Leeds for a long time and they really want to win something.

"You can see how ambitious the club is and striving to win things. For us as young boys coming through, that’s a great influence on us and shows how high the standards are."
