Samoa powerhouse centre Joey Leilua, France international full-back Mark Kheirallah and Cook Islands half-back Johnathon Ford have all put pen to paper on new deals with Featherstone for 2023, regardless of what league they are in.

The trio, who have been regulars for Brian McDermott’s side this season, have signed one-year deals with the club for 2023, whether that be in Super League or in the Championship.
