LEIGH Centurions welcome back a number of players in their 20-man squad to face in-form Catalans Dragons on Saturday at Leigh Sports Village, kick-off 3pm.

Currently under the charge of interim head coach Kurt Haggerty, Leigh are in search of their first win of the year while Catalans are in fine form with eye-catching wins over St Helens and Wigan Warriors in recent weeks.

Last weekend, Leigh lost 30-20 at Wakefield despite leading 20-18 as the game entered the last 10 minutes.

Injuries meant Haggerty’s options were strictly limited in his first game after taking over from John Duffy and he could only select from 17 fit players.

Matty Russell, Nathan Mason and Nathaniel Peteru are back in the squad after injury and Ben Reynolds returns after serving a one match suspension.

Tickets for the game are on general sale from www.leightickets.co.uk, in person at the ticket office or by calling 01942 487888 and will be available until 5pm on Friday 11th June.

Leigh Centurions 20-man squad: Ryan Brierley, Matty Russell, Iain Thornley, Junior Sa’u, Lewis Tierney, Joe Mellor, Liam Hood, Mark Ioane, Ben Hellewell, James Bell, Matty Wildie, Nathaniel Peteru, Jamie Ellis, Matty Gee, Nathan Mason, Tyrone McCarthy, Craig Mullen, Brendan Elliot, Nathan Peats, Ben Reynolds.
