Lachie Miller: Leeds Rhinos sign full-back from Newcastle Knights on three-year deal

Leeds Rhinos have signed full-back Lachie Miller from NRL side Newcastle Knights on a three-year contract to begin next season.

The 29-year-old joined the Knights from Cronulla Sharks for 2023 and has made 11 appearances so far this campaign.

Miller has also played sevens in rugby union and represented Australia in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

"I really enjoyed my footie at the start of this season and I want to bring that to the Rhinos," he said.

"It is a big change for my family, we have a newborn and two-year-old so it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our young family that we are ready to embrace and make the most of."

Miller can also play at half-back or on the wing and has kicked 23 goals and scored one try so far for Newcastle in 2023.

Meanwhile, Rhinos prop James Donaldson has signed a one-year contract extension for next season.

The 31-year-old forward joined the Headingley side in February 2019 and has made 101 appearances.

In addition, he has been granted a three-month testimonial by the Rugby Football League for services to the sport.
