Paul McShane leaves Leeds Rhinos

Hooker Paul McShane has been released from the remainder of his contract with the Leeds Rhinos by mutual consent.

The 23-year-old joined the Rhinos in 2006 and signed a new four-year deal at Headingley in September 2011.

After a frustrating start to life at Leeds, he finally became a regular fixture in the Super League last season.

However, he failed to feature in the final five games of the campaign and he has now decided to seek a move elsewhere.

McShane was part of the Leeds team that won the World Club Challenge in 2012.
