Martin is off-contract at the end of the season and has an offer from Leeds Rhinos.
Leeds Rhinos head coach Rohan Smith has confirmed the club has offered Rhyse Martin a new contract, amid interest from Leigh Leopards. Rugby League Live revealed on Thursday that the Leopards have tabled a lucrative offer for the Papua New Guinea international, who is off-contract at the end of the season.
The Leopards are understood to be leading the chase at this stage, with Martin yet to sign a deal to continue his stay at Headingley, which began in 2019. He has gone on to make 118 appearances and is closing in on 1,000 points for the club. However, they are now at risk of losing him. But Leeds want him to stay. Despite no deal currently being agreed, the Rhinos have been in talks with the back-rower for several months and remain hopeful that he will remain at the club, despite external interest. That was confirmed by Smith, who made it clear that the club want Martin to extend his time as a Rhino beyond the end of the season.
"We'd like Rhyse to stay and Rhyse has been made an offer," Smith said. "That's the case with a few other players that Ian will get his head around when he's in the building. We'll discuss that and take the course of action as it goes. But yeah, we want Rhyse to stay."Click here - Get the latest news on our Rugby League Live WhatsApp channel
