Leigh Leopards have confirmed their shirt numbers for the 2025 Super League season with Adrian Lam’s side announcing their squad.
The Leopards become the second Super League side to reveal their squad numbers this week as they follow in the footsteps of Catalans Dragons who made some bold calls in their forward pack.
Chief among those was loose forward Benjamin Garcia moving to the number nine shirt as the presumed starting hooker. Leigh Leopards have made no so much around their hooker but they have made a decision at half-back.
With the shock retirement of Matt Moylan at the end of the 2024 campaign, Leigh were left with an available quota spot and a possible opening at half-back where the Australian had been expected to feature in 2025.
Moylan played full-back in 2024 with Gaz O’Brien in the halves, however, after signing David Armstrong from Newcastle Knights, Leigh had been planning on Moylan in the halves.
That led to a chase for Salford’s Marc Sneyd but they have now confirmed their half-back situation for 2025 after confirming their squad numbers.
Leigh Leopards lock in 2025 squad numbers
It seems that Leigh Leopards will run with Gaz O’Brien as their starting six for the season with the former Salford man handed the shirt number to form a spine alongside David Armstrong (One), Lachlan Lam (Seven) and Edwin Ipape (Eight).
There are plenty of new shirt numbers given the number of comings and goings that Leigh have had with the Leopards making eleven signings ahead of 2025.
New signings include Armstrong as well as Tesi Niu (Three), Isaac Liu (13), Alec Tuitavake (15), Ethan O’Neill (20), Andrew Badrock (21), Bailey Hodgson (24), Brad Martin (28), AJ Towse (29), Ryan Brown (30) and Will Brough (31).
It’s also been confirmed that the leadership group will comprise of Jack Hughes, Lachlan Lam, Robbie Mulhern and Isaac Liu.
Leigh have noted the average age of the squad dropping from 28 to 25 with the Leopards making a concerted effort to reduce that age when recruiting.
Incredibly, just eight of the 2023 Challenge Cup winning team remain.
