Four potential landing spots for ex-St Helens centre Konrad Hurrell

   29/08/2025

WITH Konrad Hurrell being de-registered by St Helens, it signals the end of an era for the Tongan centre at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Hurrell leaves Saints with one Super League Grand Final title and one World Club Challenge success under his belt, but what does the future look like for the 34-year-old?

Here are four potential landing spots for Hurrell:

Bradford Bulls

Hurrell is no stranger to the Bradford Bulls having made four appearances for the West Yorkshire club in 2025 whilst on loan. With Bradford widely touted to be a Super League side in 2026, they will need to add more top-flight experience to their ranks, with Hurrell ticking a big box in that regard. Still able to be a devastating player out wide, Hurrell could potentially have a point to prove after being used as a bit-part player at Saints this season.

York Knights

The Knights have already made some impressive signings for 2026, including the likes of Warrington Wolves forward Paul Vaughan and Wakefield Trinity man Josh Griffin so adding in Hurrell wouldn’t be a shock to anyone. If York do indeed make Super League next season then they will need top-flight experience – and Hurrell has that in abundance. Of course, the 34-year-old has had his injury problems, but his impact off the field cannot be underestimated too.

Oldham

If the two clubs above are ambitious then Oldham are certainly in that bracket too. The likes of Ryan Brierley and Jack Ormondroyd have already made the move to the big-spending Roughyeds, and more big names are expected to swell Sean Long’s ranks in the near future. A Super League place may be too out of reach for 2026, but it’s fair to say that Oldham are building in the right direction and bringing in someone of Hurrell’s calibre could continue to help drive standards on and off the field.

Salford Red Devils

Ok, hear me out. Salford Red Devils aren’t exactly in the best financial place to be making any kind of big-name signings, but Hurrell would be a free agent and definitely still able to do a job for a beleaguered outfit – regardless if Salford are in Super League or not in 2026. The Red Devils will need to rebuild from the bottom up and men such as Hurrell would be perfect.
