LEEDS RHINOS centre Konrad Hurrell has completed his move to Super League champions St Helens admitting: “It’ll be tough to get a spot.”

The Tonga international, 30, has signed a one-year deal after spending the last three seasons at Emerald Headingley.

Leeds offered him a new deal but he turned it down in favour of a switch.

He links up once more with Krisitan Woolf - who is coach of St Helens and Tonga - and said: “I am honoured to sign with this team.

“The Saints have won three titles in a row and are currently the best team in Super League.

“I am blessed to have the opportunity because a lot of players and young kids want to play for this team. I am truly grateful.

“I like a challenge and I know it is going to be tough to find a spot in the squad, but it is a challenge I am looking forward to.”

Hurrell lost his starting spot in the Leeds side towards the end of this season but remains one of the game’s most explosive players when on top of his game.
