Leeds Rhinos sign Rogers-Smith for 2027
Leeds Rhinos have signed Catalans Dragons forward Edenn Rogers-Smith.
The 27 year old has agreed a two year contract at Headingley.
The Australian back-rower was developed through the Sydney Roosters system. He subsequently gained experience in the NSW Cup with Western Suburbs Magpies and North Sydney Bears before moving to France.
Edenn Rogers-Smith said:
“I am excited about the opportunity to join Leeds Rhinos. I have enjoyed my time in France and joining Catalans gave me the chance to test myself in Super League, and this move is another big step in my career.
“Leeds is a club with an incredible history and I know how passionate the supporters are. I am looking forward to getting to AMT Headingley and being part of that environment.
“I want to keep improving as a player, work hard for the team and make the most of the opportunity. I am really grateful to Leeds for believing in me and I can't wait for 2027.”
Leeds Rhinos Head Coach Brad Arthur welcomed the arrival of Rogers-Smith:
“We are really pleased to have Edenn joining us for 2027.
“Edenn is still developing his Super League career, but there are some really good attributes there. He is a big, mobile forward who can give us some real physicality and he has a lot of room to continue developing.
“He is hungry and motivated, which is important to us. We are looking forward to working with him and helping him become an even better player.”
Sporting Director Ian Blease added:
“Edenn is an exciting player who we believe has significant potential. He has worked hard to get his opportunity in Super League after playing in the French competition and we have seen enough of him to believe there is much more to come.”
