Clockwise from top left: Luke Keary (Catalans Dragons), Maika Sivo (Leeds Rhinos), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (Hull KR) and Judah Rimbu (Castleford Tigers) are all new arrivals in Super League for 2025

More than 70 signings have been confirmed by Super League clubs ahead of 2025, but who has made the most?

Below, we rank all 12 top-flight clubs by the number of rubber-stamped new recruits heading into the new Super League season.

Plenty of transfers are already well-documented, but have not officially been confirmed just yet, so they aren’t included.

It’s worth noting that where a loan is being turned into a permanent deal, those players are included.

Listed from the fewest number to the highest, here is the full ranking…

Spoiler alert: THREE clubs are in double figures for new arrivals!
