Fantastic News....didn't think he would be staying to be honest.

Great news

Fantastic news...super league here we come!

Clever timing from the club.

Will give a huge feel good factor ahead of the big game tomorrow with such a key player staying at the club.

Delighted with this!

Drinky is a Leyther!

Brilliant news.

This is great news. This guy puts his body on the line time and time again with the delayed passes he throws when we are close to the opposition line. Great scrum half and awesome all round game. Well done Josh and well done Derek, Neil and all the Leythers responsible for making him feel that staying with us is the right thing to do.

We must have a decent scouting set up in Aus, both Weston and Drinkwater have been quality signings.
As has been said before, can't wait for tomorrow, one very proud Leigh fan.
Think we all need to give Derek a song tomorrow to indicate our appreciation.

Well that is a top signing, when you look at some of the 7s currently in SL we have a class act there - pleased to see commitment from himself also, a club on the up irrespective of where we are next season

Fook me..

He has ?

I never saw his [iresignation[/i for this year !

Seriously though, I am absolutely delighted at this fantastic news, for me the likes of Josh & Ben Reynolds are the future of this Great Club.
Josh is a player we can build a solid SL team around & goes to prove you don't need huge names to achieve great things *well maybe one or two*.

The fact that this team was rebuilt around Leigh lads from Clubs like Leigh Miners & the return of our Prodigal Son *Mickey Is a Leyther* is even better, something that PR can actually take some credit for.

I think that the culture & tight friendships & all for one/one for all attitude is helping to attract & retain the best type of player. Prima Donna's we don't need, hard working, classy Pro's like Josh, Dayne etc we do & thankfully King Degsy is delivering them.

Thanks Derek.

Not while there's dogs on the street .....













Even 3 legged one's !!!

Great signing for me, this a quad is beginning to look really mean,I think today's game against Hudds is massive, win it and we are in SL, simple as that, a lose we still have a chance, I can't wait for today's game to start , it's obvious guys like Josh have faith in the Club for next season,but again if we are to progress next season we need to sign around maybe 5 quality players , though I'm sure Derek , Jukesy and the Backroom staff know what's needed, give Leythers summat to shout about and they will shout.Though being a quiet modest Clown , I never shout.

The problem you will have though Charlie is where you will be able to recruit those players from. - this is the problem with promotion and relegation as it stands. Most clubs have already completed their recruitment for next year. The players available to you will be those from the relegated side, those with "issues" such as hardaker, or those not perceived good enough by the other SL clubs so have not yet managed to secure a contract with a club. You already have a few non fed trained on your books so will be limited looking further afield. You may drop lucky with a player misdemeanour meaning a club is looking to offload a decent player a la chase, carney, ferres - perhaps Kelly..... This is why it's always so difficult for a team promoted at the back end of the season. I'm not sure what the answer is TBH but any club promoted is immediately at a disadvantage in terms of recruitment.
