RECORD-BREAKING WINGER Tom Briscoe reckons his best form is yet to come after signing a new Leeds Rhinos contract.

Briscoe’s previous deal was due to expire this autumn, but he has re-signed for Rhinos until the end of the 2020 season.

The 28-year-old is the third player to extend his time at the club in less than a week, following winger/centre Ash Handley and prop Adam Cuthbertson.

“I’d like to think the best years are ahead,” said Briscoe, who has scored seven tries in 18 appearances this year.

“I can’t think of any better place to spend them than Leeds Rhinos.”

Capped 15 times by England, Briscoe, 28, joined Rhinos from Hull at the end of the 2013 season and has scored 55 tries in 113 games.

His record five tries against Hull KR in the 2015 Challenge Cup final earned him the Lance Todd Trophy as man of the match.

He was among the scorers at Wembley in the previous year’s win over Castleford Tigers and bagged a brace in last year’s Betfred Super League Grand

Final triumph against the same opponents.

He also scored a reviving touchdown at Huddersfield Giants in the comeback win which secured the league leaders’ shield four years ago.

Originally from Featherstone, he said his aim was always to win a new contract with Rhinos, where he has played in four major finals, winning them all.

“I saw no reason to look elsewhere,” he confirmed.

“I am pretty settled here.

“We have won a lot of silverware in the last five years and it’s something I want to continue.

“I want to be part of the group moving forward.
