Clubs are putting the finishing touches on their recruitment for 2025, which means every Super League club’s quota situation is of increasing intrigue.
Every club is permitted seven overseas players on their quota, so we’ve put together a full breakdown of how every Super League club’s quota situation stands heading into 2025.
This is accurate as of the time of writing on December 7, 2024.
Castleford Tigers – 7/7
Castleford have four new overseas signings ahead of the 2025 campaign in the form of Australian centre Zac Cini, Samoa international halfback Daejarn Asi and Papua New Guinea duo Judah Rimbu and Jeremiah Simbiken.
Contracted: Sylvester Namo (2025), Tex Hoy (2026), Liam Horne (2026), Zac Cini (2026), Daejarn Asi (2026), Judah Rimbu (2026), Jeremiah Simbiken (2025)
Catalans Dragons – 7/7
Catalans’ overseas situation is among the most intriguing. Steve McNamara’s Dragons have recruited Nick Cotric from Canberra Raiders, Luke Keary from Sydney Roosters and Tevita Pangai Junior from the Dolphins, whilst they signed Reimis Smith from Melbourne Storm midway through last year.
Contracted: Chris Satae (2025), Tariq Sims (2025), Bayley Sironen (2025), Reimis Smith (2025), Tevita Pangai Junior (2025), Luke Keary (2026), Nick Cotric (2027)
Huddersfield Giants – 6/7
Huddersfield have made three new overseas signings for 2025 so far in the shape of hooker Zac Woolford from Canberra Raiders as well as South Sydney Rabbitohs duo Jacob Gagai and Taane Milne. The Giants still have a quota spot available as things stand.
England international Tom Burgess has signed a three-year contract with Huddersfield from 2025, with Liam Sutcliffe also joining from Hull FC and George King making the move from Hull KR, but obviously, they don’t count as quota players.
Contracted: Zac Woolford (2025), Tui Lolohea (2026), Jack Murchie (2026), Adam Clune (2026), Jacob Gagai (2026), Taane Milne (2026)

Hull FC – 7/7
Of Hull’s confirmed recruits for 2025 to date, Leigh skipper John Asiata, Canberra winger Jordan Rapana, Wests Tigers half-back Aidan Sezer and Salford utility Cade Cust are the four that count on the quota.
Those four signings, combined with the three already-contracted overseas stars for 2025, take their total tally up to the maximum of seven.

Hull KR – 7/7
KR’s quota spots for 2025 are full, with the confirmation of Rhyse Martin’s signature from Leeds adding to the recruitment of Kiwi legend Jared Waerea-Hargreaves from NRL outfit Sydney Roosters.
Sauaso Sue, Tyrone May, Peta Hiku, Kelepi Tanginoa and Jai Whitbread are all contracted for next season at Sewell Group Craven Park.

Leigh Leopards – 6/7
It’s an off-season with plenty of change for Leigh, who have lost overseas stars John Asiata (Hull FC), Tom Amone (Canterbury Bulldogs), Kai O’Donnell (North Queensland Cowboys) and Ricky Leutele (TBC) as well as Matt Moylan, who announced his retirement upon the conclusion of their 2024 campaign.
In their place, the Leopards have so far recruited NRL stars David Armstrong (Newcastle Knights), Isaac Liu (Gold Coast Titans), Ben Condon (Manly Sea Eagles) and Tesi Niu (Dolphins), leaving them with one vacant quota spot.
The Leopards also have Lachlan Lam and Ethan O’Neill – both born and raised in Australia – on their books: but the pair don’t count on quota due to playing some of their junior rugby in the UK whilst their fathers (Adrian Lam and Julian O’Neill) were playing in Super League in the early 2000s.
Contracted: Edwin Ipape (2025), Ben Condon (2026), Isaac Liu (2026), Aaron Pene (2026), David Armstrong (2027), Tesi Niu (2027)
Salford Red Devils – 7/7
Salford’s sole overseas addition for 2025 to date is centre Esan Marsters from Huddersfield, with his signing taking their overseas tally up to a full complement of seven.
Notably, Loghan Lewis has also been retained alongside Sam Stone. Cade Cust was the only overseas player to depart the Red Devils at the end of the 2024 campaign.
Contracted: Tim Lafai (2025), Jayden Nikorima (2025), Loghan Lewis (2025), Sam Stone (2026), Shane Wright (2026), Nene Macdonald (2027), Esan Marsters (2027)
St Helens – 7/7
Saints have recruited overseas stars Tristan Sailor – from Brisbane Broncos – and Kyle Feldt – from the North Queensland Cowboys – to date, taking their contracted tally of quota players for 2025 up to the full seven following the recently announced contract extension for Tongan powerhouse Konrad Hurrell.
Contracted: Curtis Sironen (2025), Agnatius Paasi (2025), James Bell (2025), Moses Mbye (2025), Tristan Sailor (2026), Kyle Feldt (2026), Konrad Hurrell (2025)
