In September 1995, he joined Leeds Rhinos.
Rivett rose to prominence towards the end of the season, helping Leeds reach the 1998 Super League Grand Final by scoring two tries in the final eliminator of the Super League play-offs against St. Helens.[4] He played on the wing for the final in the 10–4 defeat by Wigan Warriors.
