Leeds Rhinos captain Kallum Watkins has signed a new deal with the club that will see the 27-year-old stay with the Super League champions until the end of the 2021 season.

Watkins has made 200 Super League appearances for the Headingley side and boasts 25 caps for England.

He was named captain of Leeds following Danny McGuire's exit at the end of the 2017 season.

Watkins said: "This is a big stage in any rugby player's career as I come into my late twenties and it is a massive deal for me to sign a new deal.

"I love this club from the bottom of my heart."
