Leeds have given rugby union convert Simon Worrall a new one-year contract.

Worrall, who switched codes from sister club Leeds Carnegie last year, made his debut in February and has played 14 games for the Rhinos, scoring one try.

"When I first got in the team it was initially because of injuries in the squad," said the utility forward, 23.

"However, I think I am there on merit now and being awarded a new contract is a big confidence boost for me. I want to get bigger and better next season."
