Kai Morgan signs for Sheffield Eagles
11/11/2025
Sheffield Eagles are delighted to confirm the signing of half back Kai Morgan from Salford Red Devils on a one-year deal.
The 21-year-old, who came through the Leeds Rhinos academy, joins the Eagles after two seasons in the Betfred Super League, where he made 17 appearances for Salford, and also gained valuable experience during that time on loan with Swinton Lions, Rochdale Hornets and Halifax Panthers.
Morgan, who can also operate at hooker, adds further depth and versatility to the Eagles’ playmaking options as he links up with Jordan Lilley and Lennie Ellis in the battle for the half back roles next season.
Speaking about his move to Sheffield, Morgan said he is eager to get started.
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 Betfred Championship.”
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 (Lilley) and Lennie (Ellis) 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.”
