Leeds winger Ryan Hall has announced his retirement from rugby league with immediate effect.
The 38-year-old made his Rhinos debut in 2007 and went on to win six Super League titles with the club before helping Hull KR reach Old Trafford in 2024.
He made over 500 career appearances and scored 275 Super League tries, second only to current Leigh winger Josh Charnley.
Hall will be granted a three-month testimonial period from December, including one final appearance in a friendly against Hull FC, before taking up a commercial role at Headingley.
Hall said: “I’m officially retiring from playing rugby league.
“I think the time’s right that I hang up the boots. I’ve done it for 20 years and I’ve loved every minute of it.
“The club’s in a good position to go with the youth, that’s the natural progression in rugby league. I’ve always wanted the best for the club at heart and if the decision is to go with the youth at this point in time, that suits me down to a tee because I have had 20 years of loving every second of it.”
Hall scored 39 tries in 40 appearances for England, and also represented Great Britain twice.
