The following players who were born within 5 miles of Leigh Sports Village have played for the England International rugby league team in the last 25 years. I used 25 years so I could include Paul Rowley.
Oliver Gildart, Dom Manfredi, Andy Ackers, Tom Makinson, Ben Currie, Chris Hill, born Wigan (included because he progressed through Leigh's service area and youth ranks) Danny Tickle, Rob Parker, Paul Rowley and Steve Blakeley,
Mickey Higham was born in Billinge.

With the facilities at LSV and the potential to compete for a future academy trained Marquee contract, Leigh Leopards will have the opportunity to attract academy recruits from further afield including some of the most outstanding talent.
