Leeds Rhinos confirm six departures as David Fusitu'a prepares for Headingley farewell

The winger is one of six first-team players on their way out of the club, with Rhyse Martin and James Donaldson also set for their final home game in Leeds colours against Hull FC.

Fusitu'a has scored 17 tries in 40 games during an injury-hit three-year spell with the Rhinos.

The New Zealander's place in the squad will be taken by Headingley favourite Ryan Hall, who won six Grand Finals in his first stint.

Centre Luis Roberts and hooker Corey Johnson will also leave at the end of their contracts, while prop Kieran Hudson has been granted an early release.

Rhinos sporting director Ian Blease said: "Sadly part of the professional game is that players do move on from clubs to seek new opportunities elsewhere.

"All six players will leave AMT Headingley with our very best wishes and, on behalf of everyone at the club, I would like to thank them for their efforts for the club, not just on matchdays but the unseen hard work that goes on behind the scenes as players battle hard to get back from injuries to support their team-mates.

"We have three games left in the regular season and I know, regardless of where their future lies at the end of the year, all six players will be giving their all each day to help the whole squad prepare for those games and achieve their potential this season.

"I am sure the Leeds fans can show their appreciation on Friday night when we play Hull FC, especially to the four lads who have been here for a number of years."
