Leigh have signed young centre Josh Simm on a two-week loan from St Helens.

The 20-year-old has scored three tries in eight games for Saints since making his first team debut in 2019.

Simm’s loan is initially for two weeks, which will then be reviewed on a week-by-week basis.

St Helens coach Kristian Woolf said: “We re-signed Josh because we see him as a big part of our future.

“We recognise that he hasn’t had a lot of opportunity to play over the past few years so this move for him is perfect.

“He is now given the chance to gain some more regular Super League experience so he can continue to develop as a player.”
