FORMER Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos man Matt Parcell has come out of retirement.

Parcell called time on his career at the end of the 2024 season, bowing out with a Super League Grand Final loss as Rovers went down 9-2 to Wigan Warriors.

The hooker returned to Australia after contemplating a deal to stay at Craven Park but, one year on, Parcell is set to lace up his boots once more.

The 33-year-old has signed a deal with Queensland Cup side Western Clydesdales, who are coached by brothers Ben and Shane Walker.

Parcell, who studied civil engineering at the University of Queensland before moving into rugby league, became involved in property development after retiring last year.

He is fondly remembered at both Headingley and Craven Park, playing 80 times for Leeds during a three-year period before leaving for Rovers ahead of the 2020 season.

With the Robins, Parcell registered 116 appearances and was a vital cog in the Rovers’ wheel during their excellent 2024 campaign.
