CHRIS HANKINSON will remain with Leeds Rhinos next season, coach Brad Arthur has confirmed. The 32-year-old has become a key cog in Leeds’ wheel this year since being moved into the back row, having mostly been an outside back throughout his career. But Arthur has revealed that an option in that contract has been taken up for the former Wigan Warriors player to remain on board. “With Chris’ deal, another year got triggered,” explained Arthur, who now has only veteran winger Ryan Hall left off-contract. “At the moment he’s still playing well, he contributes every week, and his leadership is only getting better.”
