VETERAN Leeds forward Jamie Jones-Buchanan has banished any immediate thoughts of retirement as he prepares to make his 400th appearance for his club at Hull tomorrow night.

The former England international, who is the longest-serving player in Super League, having started out in May 1999, will become only the 14th player in the club’s 123-year history to reach the landmark and follow in the footsteps of former teammates Kevin Sinfield, Rob Burrow and Danny McGuire.

“If you divide it by 20 years, it’s only 20 games a season, but it’s pretty special,” he said.
