Leigh half commits to club

Leigh Centurions halfback Ben Reynolds has signed a two-year deal to stay with the club until the end  of 2023.

Reynolds returned to the club after the start of the 2021 season from Toulouse. He played 11 games for the club before picking up a knee injury.

He is in his third spell with the club. He initially joined the club in 2015, before leaving to join Wakefield Trinity in 2019. He then returned to Leigh later that year, before signing for Toulouse ahead of the 2021 season.

On his new deal, Reynolds said:“I’m really pleased to have signed the deal. It’s where I’ve been enjoying my rugby and it’s given me something to look forward to over the next couple of years.

“Hopefully we can kick on and do great things at Leigh. I also want to say thanks to the lads for welcoming me back to the club and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

Interim head coach Kurt Haggerty added: “It’s great to have Ben on contract for the next two years. Before his injury he showed really good signs and he’s shown quality when he’s been fit.

“He’s a pivot with experience at Championship and Super League level and he still has a lot to offer in a Leigh shirt. It’s exciting for the club to have secured Ben’s services for the next couple of years as there is definitely more to come from him.”
