Brad Arthur commits future to Rhinos with new two-year contract extension

Leeds Rhinos are delighted to announce that Head Coach Brad Arthur has agreed a new two-year contract extension that will keep him at AMT Headingley until at least the end of the 2028 Betfred Super League season.

Arthur joined the Rhinos in 2024, originally just for the final ten games of that season, and has made a significant impact both on and off the field, helping to take the Rhinos to the top of Betfred Super League table.

Speaking after signing his new contract, Brad Arthur said, “I am really pleased to extend my time with Leeds Rhinos. From the moment I arrived, I felt the passion that exists throughout this club, from the players and staff to our supporters. 

“We have put a process in place to bring through the best young talent and I am looking forward to seeing that flourish in the years ahead. We have a fantastic coaching, conditioning and medical staff, who are all committed to the club for the future. I’ve enjoyed every aspect of being part of Leeds Rhinos and I am excited by what we can achieve together over the coming years. We are building something that can make our supporters proud and I am looking forward to continuing that journey.”

Leeds Rhinos Sporting Director Ian Blease welcomed the news and believes Arthur is the right man to lead the club into the future. Blease commented, “This is a hugely important announcement for Leeds Rhinos. Brad has brought outstanding leadership, professionalism and clarity to our rugby programme since joining the club. He has earned the respect of everyone across the organisation through his work ethic, standards and commitment to improving the team every day.

“We have been extremely impressed with the progress made under Brad’s leadership and, just as importantly, the culture he has helped create throughout the club. There is a shared belief about where we are heading and securing Brad’s future enables us to keep building a squad capable of challenging for major honours.

“Brad is one of the most respected coaches in the game and we are delighted that he has committed his future to Leeds Rhinos through to the end of the 2028 season.”
