Leeds Rhinos have signed rising star Cameron Smith to a new three-year contract that will keep him at Headingley until at least the end of 2023.
The 21-year-old back row forward made his Super League debut for Rhinos as a teenager in 2016 and has become a regular in Richard Agar's side this season.
Rhinos director of rugby Kevin Sinfield said: "We are delighted to have agreed a new long-term contract with Cameron.
"I think it is great news for us and also Super League to be keeping one of our best young players in our competition.
"Cameron worked incredibly hard during pre-season and he is really thriving under Richard Agar's leadership.
"He has been one of a number of outstanding young players in our side at the start of the season and he thoroughly deserves this new deal."
