Mikolaj Oledzki’s re-signing is an important part of Leeds Rhinos’s strategy
The impressive England Knights international, 21, has been rewarded for an excellent campaign with a four-year contract at Emerald Headingley.
Oledzki helped Rhinos lift the Challenge Cup at Wembley last month and will be part of their side as they tackle the Super League play-offs next week.

“He has been a key figure in our team this season and continues to learn and develop under Richard Agar and our coaching team.
“Importantly for the club, Mik is the fifth young player to commit their long-term future to it. Harry Newman is signed until the end of 2022 whilst Jack Walker, Cameron Smith and Ash Handley are all contracted until the end of 2023.
“We have another crop of talented players coming through behind this group.

Polish-born Oledzki has made more than 60 appearances since debuting in 2017 and said: “I am over the moon we have got the deal signed.
“A new generation of young players got a taste of what success feels like with our win at Wembley and that builds a hunger for more silverware.
“The club has invested a lot of time and effort to help build me as a player. Hopefully I can repay that faith with some top performances and collectively bring more success as a team.”
