Leeds Rhinos trio David Fusitu'a, Luis Roberts and Corey Johnson will leave the club at the end of the season.

Tonga international Fusitu'a, 29, joined Leeds in 2022 from NRL side New Zealand Warriors and made 40 appearances, scoring 17 tries.

Roberts, 22, joined from Leigh Leopards last season and scored five tries in 21 games.

Johnson, 23, played 29 times for the Rhinos having come through the Super League club's academy.

Prop Kieran Hudson, 24, will also leave after being granted early release from his contract having struggled due to injury following his arrival from Castleford Tigers.

"Sadly part of the professional game is that players do move on from clubs to seek new opportunities elsewhere," .

"I would like to thank them for their efforts for the club, not just on matchdays but the unseen hard work that goes on behind the scenes as players battle hard to get back from injuries to support their team-mates."
