He said: “I’m really excited to have signed for next year – I’ve only heard good things about the direction that the club is going in.

“I can’t wait to meet all the boys, staff and the fans, and hopefully play a part in helping the club achieve a high finish next season in the Championship.”

Sheffield head coach Craig Lingard added: “I’m really excited to bring him in.

“Kai is an exciting prospect who played a lot of Super League games last year, and hopefully we can develop him as a player across the season.

“He will add plenty of competition in the halves alongside Jordan and Lennie next year, and it will be an exciting fight between the three of them to see who our starting halfbacks will be across the 2026 season.”
