I am enjoying my rugby – Leeds winger Ryan Hall, 37, signs new one-year contract

Independent03-06-2025

Veteran Leeds winger Ryan Hall has signed a new one-year contract, the Super League club have announced.
The 37-year-old, who passed the landmark of 500 career games in March, will now stay at AMT Headingley until at least the end of the 2026 season.
Hall is Super League's record tryscorer with 260 and has spent the majority of his career with the Rhinos.
'I have always said if I feel I can still do a job for the team then I would like to continue playing,' Hall said. 'This is currently my 19th season and it would be great to play a 20th season.
'I have spoken to players who have retired and they always say that you'll know when your time has come but I am enjoying my rugby at the moment and being part of this Leeds Rhinos squad.
'We have got a lot we still want to achieve in 2025 but I am also looking forward to seeing where this squad can go over the next 18 months.'
Hall made his Rhinos debut in 2007 and has enjoyed a glittering career with the club, with successes including six Grand Finals wins and two Challenge Cups.
The England international rejoined Leeds this season after four years at Hull KR. He also had a spell with Sydney Roosters earlier in his career.

Pop star sparks feud with Loose Women favourite as she takes swipes during foul-mouthed Glasto set

POP singer Kate Nash has taken a swipe at Denise Welch while performing at Glastonbury. The star, 37, headlined the Left Field tent at the festival and launched into a foul-mouthed tirade at various people including JK Rowling, Rod Stewart - and surprisingly the Loose Women favourite. 4 4 4 Kate ranted: 'The music industry doesn't know what to do with me. They tried to get rid of me, but they didn't. There is a record executive sweating their t*** off with Matt Healy 's mum. 'They're scared of me. I like that. But I was made of mother f****** bricks. But they didn't believe me. I even gave them a second warning a few years later when I told them 'Do not underestimate the girl'. Is it my fault they didn't believe me? 'I'm not going to give my third warning. It's too late for that. I'm taking my bricks and I'm throwing them through the f****** window.' Denise was at Glastonbury this weekend to support her son Matt Healy who was headlining with his band The 1975. Matt meanwhile preached love to fans during the band's set on the Pyramid Stage. Pausing between songs to address the crowd on Friday night, he said: "The lack of politics in this show, it is a conscious decision. "We don't want our legacy to be one of politics - we want it to be that of love and friendship. "You go out into the world and there is loads of politics. We don't need more, we need more love and friendship. "If you are a young kid and inspired about this band, aspire for friendship and love in what you do and you will never fail - and I love you." Last year Kate revealed she had joined OnlyFans to fund her tour. She said the extra money meant she wouldn't have to compromise on things like staff wages and safe tour buses that aren't overcrowded. Kate said she was determined to put on a "high quality show for fans" and said of her money-making campaign: "I've got a great bum. "I often flash a bit anyway so it was a fun idea, but I didn't think it would get this much of a reaction." Kate's debut album, Made Of Bricks, which went straight to No1 when it came out in 2007. 4 Kate split from her label and self-released her third and fourth records, the latter being called Yesterday Was Forever in 2018. She previously revealed she found herself in financial difficulty. The Brit School alum told The Guardian of the dip in her success after Foundations and said: "I'd trusted the wrong people with my money, which meant I had to sell my flat and move back in with my parents. "I'd worked so hard and had nothing to show for it. The worst part was that I knew I wasn't going to give up. "I briefly thought I should become a teacher instead, but then I realised: 'How are you going to do that? You don't even have a degree because you didn't get into any universities.' "Having this career is about fighting your way through it."
