Donlan signs new Leigh deal

Leigh have handed a new deal to full-back Stuart Donlan for the 2011 season.

Donlan, 31, returned to his hometown club at the beginning of 2009 after spells with Halifax, Huddersfield and Leigh.

The experienced back started his career with the Centurions in 1997 and has made 164 appearances in his two spells with the club.

He put pen to paper following Leigh’s disappointing exit in the Championship play-offs at home to Sheffield a fortnight ago.

He said: “I was disappointed with how this year ended and I want to finish, or try and finish my career winning something with my hometown club. To re-sign is good for me and it’s local as well.

“I just want to play, like I did this year in most games and just try and win something.”
