ENGLISH club Leeds have pulled off a coup by signing Gold Coast’s Tongan international Konrad Hurrell.

While Hurrell has had his ups and downs in the NRL, he will be a sensation in England with his aggressive running game and tryscoring flair.

The 27-year-old was under contract to the Titans for 2019 but the club has agreed to let him go to Leeds, who recently appointed former Canberra star David Furner as coach.

Hurrell debuted in the NRL for the Warriors in 2012 and on his day, is among the most devastating ball runners in the NRL.

But his career has been plagued by fitness problems and off field incidents and a move to the Titans in 2016 did little to help.

Leeds are also chasing several other big names for next season.
