Leigh Leopards show interest in Leeds Rhinos full-back Derrell Olpherts
Leopards are still looking to add to their squad for the new season
Leigh Leopards have expressed interest in signing Derrell Olpherts from Rhinos in Leeds, according to Rugby League Live.. Olpherts’ stay at Headingley appears to be coming to an end after just one season after the Rhinos made him available for the 2024 season.
And Leopards are said to be interested in a move for the 31-year-old as part of their preparations for next year, allowing them to add significant depth to their squad ahead of the new campaign.. Adrian Lam, who managed to retain all his prized assets before the

announcement, has bolstered his team with young talent, but Olpherts is identified as someone who can add competition to the side after.
Additionally, Olpherts will provide the speed that Leigh perhaps lacks, as well as doing well in distance.. Olpherts finished the 2022 Super League season with more tackles than any other player in the competition.. This saw him move from Castleford Tigers to Rhinos, but he endured a difficult year at Headingley, making just 14 appearances..

Rhinos are now likely to withdraw early, and while an agreement with the Challenge Cup holders appears to have not been reached, some discussions are understood to have taken place.

Leigh are also still looking for a full-back for next season.. The club had expressed an interest in Brodie Croft and Anthony Milford, but Croft has now joined Leeds amid reports that the Milford deal had collapsed, forcing the club to consider their options.. Surname.. Olpherts played 108 Super League matches, scoring 49 tries.. His former clubs include Salford Red Devils and Castleford, as well as Rhinos..
