English Test back Kallum Watkins is in dispute with his club Leeds and is considering a move down under next season.

Wide World of Sports has learned from sources in the UK that Watkins is furious with Leeds - for whom he has played over 200 games - after the club tried to reduce his contract for next season.

Watkins is supposed to become a marquee player on big dollars in 2020 but after he underwent a knee reconstruction last year, the club is trying to put him on a smaller deal.

The 28-year old came back to the game after surgery late last year and has been making slow but steady progress.

Watkins is a legend at Leeds and news of his dissatisfaction is certain to cause anger among the club’s legion of fans.

His manager is set to open negotiations with both English and Australian clubs for the 25-Test veteran unless a compromise can be reached.

Leeds are having a season from hell, sitting well down the ladder and sacking Aussie coach David Furner after just 14 games.
