Brian McClennan has extended Leeds contract

Brian McClennan was appointed coach in July 2007.

McClennan has agreed a one-year contract extension as head coach of Leeds Rhinos.

The 46-year-old former New Zealand coach will stay at Headingley until the end of the 2010 season, having succeeded Tony Smith in 2007.

McClennan led Leeds to victory in the Carnegie World Club Challenge and Super League Grand Final - the Rhinos' second straight triumph - in his first season.

With the Rhinos seeking a third successive Super League title, McClennan had a warning for the club's rivals.

The Rhinos finish off their week-long training camp in the United States on Saturday with a challenge game against Super League newcomers Salford City Reds at Hodges Stadium, Jacksonville.
