Leeds Rhinos vs Bradford Bulls

Fixture Date: 24/01/26

Competition: Cameron Smith Testimonial

Leeds Rhinos and Bradford Bulls reignite an old rivalry this January in a Testimonial match for Cameron Smith.

Rhinos’ Head Coach Brad Arthur has named a strong side to face the Bulls at AMT Headingley for the first time since 2024, with Smith at loose forward and England internationals Kallum Watkins, Mikolaj Oledzki and Harry Newman all returning, as well as captain Ash Handley and Man of Steel Jake Connor.

It is sure to be a stellar occasion to celebrate an impressive decade of service for Smith, who came through the academy ranks of the Blue and Amber. Debuting for the club in 2016 he went on to appear in the 2022 Grand Final, was named club captain in 2024 and was named Super League’s top tackler last erm.

This final pre-season match sees the close neighbours dust off the cobwebs ahead of the new Super League campaign commencing in February.
