Connor’s talent was never in doubt during his years with Huddersfield and Hull FC before that, which was recognised by playing for England and Great Britain in 2018 and 2019.
His form dipped but he has thrived at Leeds in his half-back role under Australian head coach Brad Arthur.
“Being here has brought me back to my best,” he told the club’s website., external
“I’m enjoying it and you can see that on the field. We want to create something special and I want to be part of it. It’s a lengthy deal and I want to repay the club for that. Hopefully, my best years are still to come.”
For Arthur, having Connor commit his future to Leeds is a big statement as they look to build on last season’s improvement.
“Jake’s taken ownership of the team, he’s embraced the style we want to play, and he’s become a key voice in our group,” Arthur said.
“He has consistently performed at the highest level for the Rhinos each week and securing his future is a big step for us as we build stability and a core that can grow together.”
