Leeds Rhinos have confirmed the signing of experienced prop forward Matt Lodge for the remainder of the 2026 Betfred Super League season from North Queensland Cowboys ahead of tonight's huge clash with Leigh Leopards at AMT Headingley.

The front rower will join the Rhinos with immediate effect and will bolster Brad Arthur’s squad as Leeds enter the final stages of the Betfred Super League campaign. He has played 148 times in the NRL including 15 appearances this season for the Cowboys. 

Lodge brings significant experience at the highest level, having enjoyed a long career in the NRL and represented clubs including the Brisbane Broncos, New Zealand Warriors and Sydney Roosters.

The 31-year-old will add further size, power and experience to the Rhinos pack as the club continues its push towards the Betfred Super League Play-Offs. With Keenan Palasia ruled out until the final game of the regular season, the club has moved quickly to add to the squad for the final run in.
