Leigh sign Wigan duo on loan

Leigh have confirmed the signing of Wigan pair Josh Woods and Craig Mullen from Wigan on season-long loan deals.

Woods, 22, spent last season on loan at the Centurions, making 25 appearances and scoring three tries. He has also featured for Wigan 13 times after making his club debut in 2017.

Mullen, 21, has made three appearances for the Warriors and has also had spells on dual-registration with Swinton and London Skolars.

“I thought he (Woods) was outstanding for us in big parts of last season,” said Centurions head coach John Duffy. “Many of the tries we scored last season were as a result of his detail and discipline in attack, I’m really looking forward to him kicking on and improving even more next season.

“Craig is a player I coached at Wigan as a youngster and he can play anywhere. He’s been on the wing, at full-back, centre – I’ve seen him play at hooker. I hope he will enjoy playing at Leigh Centurions and progress his career.”
