After watching the reserves today i would like to thank him for his commitment to Leigh centurions and will be very sad to see him leave,both myself and Frank B thanked him for the last couple of seasons and he made one young lad very happy when he gave him his boots.Would like to wish him good luck for the future and think he has a lot more to offer the game but unfortunately not for the centurions

Gutted to see Morty leave. Been at the club for years. A great servant and loved to play for Leigh. I'm sure every Leigh fan will wish him well and hopes he can do well for himself, I certainly do.

I agree. Our loss someone else's gain, he'll be one former player who will come back to haunt us at another club. It will be interesting who eventually replaces Donlan at fullback.

I wish the lad all the best for the future, and thank him for all the effort he has put in at Leigh.

Johnny Pownall is the lad being 'groomed' to succeed Donlan.

Mort was unhappy anyway as he wasn't getting into the 1st team and probably wouldn't had he stayed which is sad ,i wish we could have seen more of him in the 1st team its the only way to improve your game playing at a higher level

Nice lad is Morty but is he good enough??? I and more importantly Basil don't think so thanks for all your efforts and good luck for the future. No room for sentiment in proffessional sport we have done that for too many years!

Ive got to agree, Stu Donlans has maybe one more year, Morty should stay as cover and take over the reins after Stu leaves. I too wish ian all the best for the future.

pownall will replace donlan when he leaves the club

So hes better then Morty is he?

yes!

Afraid so a lot better! And potential to get even better!

Morty is not good enough for us. Will be a top Championship one player, but not good enough for this level. Again people are letting their hearts rule their heads. Just because he is a local lad who has come through the ranks they have misguided loyalty to him. Nothing personal against him because he is a nice lad. Donlan is twice the player and Millward will have a plan to replace Stuart at the end of next season. Good descision imo.
