Senior signs new Rhinos contract

Senior won the title with Leeds in 2004, 2007 and 2008

Leeds Rhinos centre Keith Senior has signed a new 12-month contract that will keep him at Headingley until at least the end of next season.

Senior, 32, has played in each of the 14 Super League seasons and will make his 300th appearance for the Rhinos if he plays against Hull FC on Tuesday.

"It is good to see that the club have shown faith in me by offering me this new deal," he told the club's website.

"People go on about age but I feel as young as ever."

Senior joined the Rhinos back in 1999, and has established himself as one of the top centres in Super League.

"It is great to reach my 300th game," said Senior, who is 11th in Leeds' all-time try-scoring list with 150.

"This will be my 10th season at the Rhinos and to be at one club for so long is great.

He's been a great servant over the years, but is this a season too far?

"There is a lot of loyalty between the club and the players. It is pretty unique in the modern game to see testimonials coming up every season and that is great for the club.

"People want to stay here for a long time and that says it all really."

Rhinos coach Brian McClennan welcomed Senior's decision to sign on for another year.

"It is an incredible achievement and you begin to realise the importance of Keith to our side and understand exactly why he was offered a new one-year contract for next season," he said.

"Keith is an evergreen. He is still a strike player for us and when you need something special in a game the ball gets to him and opportunities happen on the back of what he does."

"He looks after himself and is still a strong, fast and powerful athlete."

Senior retired from international rugby after the 2008 World Cup and McClennan believes that decision will benefit both the player and Leeds.

"He will benefit from the rest he will get in the off season this year and we will all see the benefits of that rest next year," added McClennan.
