Leeds Rhinos legend Ryan Hall has announced his retirement at the age of 38.<\/p>\n

The winger made his senior debut for the Rhinos in May 2007 and went on to score 358 tries in 540 career appearances.<\/p>\n

The former England international, who also had spells with Sydney Roosters and Hull KR, won six Grand Finals and two Challenge Cups with Leeds.<\/p>\n

“I think the time’s right that I hang up the boots. I’ve done it for 20 years and I’ve loved every minute of it,” he told the club website., external<\/a><\/p>\n

“The club’s in a good position to go with the youth, that’s the natural progression in rugby league.”<\/p>\n

Hall, who will move into a commercial role at the club, is Super League’s second highest scorer with 274, seven behind Leigh winger Josh Charnley.<\/p>\n

He left Leeds for Sydney Roosters after the 2018 season but failed to score a try in 11 NRL appearances across two seasons.<\/p>\n

Hull KR brought him back to Super League for the 2021 campaign and he scored 62 tries in 102 games for the Robins before returning to Leeds two years ago.<\/p>\n

He scored 10 times in 24 appearances in 2026 as the Rhinos finished second and his final appearance for the club came in their play-off semi-final defeat by Warrington<\/a> at Headingley.<\/p>\n

“I am pleased to have had the honour to work with Ryan over the last couple of years,” head coach Brad Arthur said.<\/p>\n

“He has performed at the very highest level for his club and country and he leaves the field on his terms, having maintained his presence for 20 years; that is a remarkable achievement.”<\/p>\n

The club have said Hall, who scored 39 tries in 40 appearances for England and was part of the side that finished runner-up in the 2017 World Cup final, will make a “cameo appearance” in a pre-season match against Hull FC in January as part of a testimonial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds Rhinos legend Ryan Hall has announced his retirement at the age of 38.
