Oli Leyland is officially out at Warrington Wolves, leaving the Super League club after an 18-month stint that was brutal in its brevity. The half-back’s time at the Halliwell Jones Stadium has come to an end, marking a seriously tough break for the 25-year-old.
Injury Derailed Leyland’s Warrington Dream
Man, what a rough run it was for Leyland. He joined “the Wire” ahead of the 2025 season, making the move from London Broncos. But his tenure was unfortunately cut short. He only managed to play in five appearances for the club before suffering a brutal anterior cruciate knee ligament injury. That happened against Hull KR back in May 2025, and he hasn’t been back on the field since. That’s a full year and then some out of the game, missing the remainder of the 2025 season and all of 2026 so far. You just hate to see a promising career get sidelined like that.
What’s Next for the Half-Back?
Even with all that time off, Leyland still hadn’t made a senior appearance in 2026 before this news dropped. We know he was on trial with fellow Super League club Huddersfield Giants, so maybe that’s where his next chapter begins. Warrington Wolves, for their part, put out a statement thanking him for his time. They said, “Everyone at Warrington Wolves would like to thank Oli for his professionalism, commitment and contribution during his time at the club.” It’s clear the talent was there, but injuries just got in the way. You gotta wonder what’s next for Leyland after battling such a serious injury and now being without a club. Here’s hoping he finds his way back on the field soon.
