The Warriors will reportedly sign promising UK forward Morgan Gannon to a three-year deal from 2026.
Code Sports are reporting that the 21-year-old Gannon will leave the Leeds Rhinos at season’s end to join the Warriors.
Gannon is a versatile back rower who is enjoying a strong season in 2025 for the middle-of-the-table Rhinos, coached by former Eels mentor Brad Arthur.

When Gannon’s name was linked with the Warriors last month, Arthur said he believed the young forward would stay with Leeds.
However, the Warriors have reportedly won his services with Gannon to reunite with his former Leeds coach Richard Agar, who is an assistant in New Zealand under head coach Andrew Webster.
Gannon will add depth to a forward pack who have been hot-and-cold in 2025 but do boast plenty of young talent.
Former skipper Tohu Harris retired with immediate effect during the off-season while another veteran in Kurt Capewell hasn’t had his best year so far and goes off contract at the end of next season.
