Rohan Smith has stepped down as Leeds Rhinos head coach with immediate effect ahead of their match against Leigh Leopards on Friday.

Smith joined the Rhinos in April 2022 and steered the club to the Super League Grand Final in his first year, having initially agreed a deal until the end of the 2025 season. However, Leeds missed out on the play-offs last season and lost their seventh game of this campaign on Saturday in an 18-10 defeat to Hull FC.

'I had always stated that it was a long-term project to establish a team that will be able to have sustainable success, and I believe that we have assembled a roster that can continue to push for a 2024 playoff spot, the supporters can get behind the boys and give them their support,' said Smith.
