Leigh Leopards coach Adrian Lam has reacted to reports that Bailey Hodgson will leave the club, as well as rumours of him becoming the next Hull KR boss.
It’s understood that off-contract full-back Bailey Hodgson will leave Leigh at the end of the season and sign a deal with Hull FC for 2027.
With the Leopards hosting the Black and Whites tonight, Leigh boss Adrian Lam spoke before the match on Sky Sports and was asked about those reports, something that he pivoted away from as he insisted the focus remained on the 80 minutes ahead of him.
“I haven’t heard too much about, I just read that today,” Lam responded.
“I’m not going to really comment on that at this point, we’ve got a short turnaround from last week, we played well last week and we’re looking forward to a nice performance.”
Hull FC’s CEO Richie Myler was also quizzed on Bailey Hodgson, with Myler unable to confirm or deny the reports, though he did express plenty of admiration for the full-back.
Myler admitted: “I admire Bailey Hodgson, I think he’s a great player but there’s nothing official for me to confirm or deny.
“Like I say, he’s a great player, he’s lightning quick and someone I admired but no, nothing to tell you.”

Another rumour that Sky’s Jenna Brooks pushed Adrian Lam on was the prospect of him becoming the next Hull KR head coach, something that she claimed many Rovers fans had been talking about the night before when they beat Wigan Warriors.
With Willie Peters leaving Craven Park at the end of the season, Hull KR need to bring in a new head coach to take the Robins forward and uphold the success that Peters has found.
When asked about those rumours, Lam responded: “It’s good that they’re talking about us but there’s nothing from that end at all.
“Like I said, I’ve got a job here to do and I’ll focus on that.”
