Leeds Rhinos have re-signed former captain Kallum Watkins from Salford Red Devils on a deal for the remainder of the 2025 Super League season.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 34-year-old won the World Club Challenge, three Super League Grand Finals and two Challenge Cups with the Rhinos before leaving in 2019.<\/p>\n
Watkins then had a short spell with NRL side Gold Coast Titans and joined Salford in 2020 after initially signing for Toronto Wolfpack before their demise.<\/p>\n
“I am delighted to be coming back to the Rhinos where my career began,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I would like to thank everyone at Salford Red Devils for the experiences we had shared together.<\/p>\n
“It has been an incredibly tough season for everyone involved, from the players to the coaches and the staff at the Devils. I hope some resolution can be found in the coming weeks and months and the club can once again challenge in Super League.”<\/p>\n
Watkins, who has won 29 England caps, will not be involved for either Salford or Leeds when the two sides face each other later this week.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 21-year-old forward Toby Warren will move the other way as part of a loan deal, keeping him with Salford for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
