Super League duo make immediate loan moves

Super League duo Umyla Hanley and Jacob Jones have both made loan moves away from Leigh Leopards.

Jones has joined the Widnes Vikings on a two-week loan meanwhile former Wigan Warriors winger and fullback Umyla Hanley has joined Rochdale Hornets.

Leigh released the following statement:

“Jacob Jones has today joined Widnes Vikings on a two week initial loan, alongside Umyla Hanley who has joined Rochdale Hornets.

“Good luck, lads.”

Meanwhile Rochdale said:

“We are delighted to announce Umyla Hanley has joined the club on a short-term loan from Leigh Leopards.

“Welcome to Hornets, Umyla.”

Recently, Leigh boss Adrian Lam confirmed that Aaron Smith and former Love Island star Keanan Brand are back training and suggested that the duo could go somewhere on loan:

“Aaron Smith is back in training all ready to go, it’s whether or not we include him in that squad or we try get him some game time elsewhere.

“Keanan Brand is available now. His load is up to a position where we think we can compete so he’s in the same position as Aaron in the sense of whether we play him.

“So those players are on the fringe at the moment, they probably need a little bit of game time so we’ll work closely with them on that.”
