The Perth Bears are still in the process of shaping their roster, with significant signings like Siosifa Talakai and Scott Sorensen recently grabbing headlines.
Yet, the NRL's latest franchise is actively pursuing seasoned star forwards to enhance their squad further.
Sources within the player market have revealed that the name Oledzki has emerged in the club's discussions regarding its forward pack, as Perth is focusing on securing established leaders to anchor their foundational team.
Currently, the 27-year-old is under contract with Leeds until the conclusion of the 2028 Super League season, meaning any possible transition would necessitate negotiations with the Rhinos if the Bears decide to express formal interest.
In recent years, Oledzki has been recognized as one of the top middle forwards in the Super League and consistently features in England's international team, fitting the profile that expansion clubs often seek to establish early stability.
Earlier this year, the prop downplayed rumors linking him to Perth, affirming his commitment to Leeds. However, sources reveal that the Bears are still on the hunt for international middle forwards as their recruitment efforts intensify, with Oledzki remaining a primary target.
As of now, no agreements have been reached, and Leeds has not publicly indicated any plans to release Oledzki from his contract.
