Leigh sign Catalans back

Leigh Centurions have confirmed the signing of Lewis Tierney from Catalans Dragons ahead of the 2021 season.

The 26 year old former Wigan Warriors player joins the club from the Catalan Dragons whom he joined in July 2017 on loan. Previously, he had helped the Warriors to the Super League title in 2016.

Tierney went on to sign a permanent contract with the Dragons that has seen him make 51 appearances scoring 18 tries. This included helping the Dragons become the first non-English side to win the Challenge Cup in 2018.

Centurions Head Coach John Duffy said: “Lewis is an outstanding signing for us, first of all he is an outstanding person and someone who I have known all of his life.

“He has come through the pathway at Wigan winning major trophies and kicked on to be remembered at Catalans for their Challenge Cup Final win not too long ago.

“He will fit straight into our growing squad and will flourish with the way we want to play. I can’t wait to see him and get going.”
