Ryan Hall Calls Time on 20-Year Career as One of Super League's Greatest Wingers

Leeds Rhinos icon Ryan Hall has brought down the curtain on a remarkable 20-year rugby league career, announcing his retirement from the professional game. Hall, 38, made his Rhinos debut in 2007 and became one of the most prolific finishers the sport has seen. He scored 275 Super League tries — second only to Leigh's Josh Charnley in the all-time standings — across more than 500 career appearances, and lifted six Super League titles with Leeds during his first long stint at Headingley. His career also took him to the NRL, where he spent two seasons with the Sydney Roosters after leaving Leeds in 2018, before returning to Super League with Hull KR ahead of the 2021 season — helping the Robins reach the Grand Final at Old Trafford in 2024. Hall returned to the Rhinos in 2024 to close out his playing days where they began. On the international stage, he was capped 40 times by England, scoring 39 tries, and represented Great Britain twice on the 2019 Lions tour of the southern hemisphere. Hall will be granted a three-month testimonial period from December, featuring one final playing appearance in a friendly against Hull FC, before stepping into a commercial role at Headingley. Announcing the decision on Friday, he said the time was right to hang up his boots after two decades of "loving every minute of it."
