Leigh Leopards Secure Head Coach Adrian Lam for 3 More Years
Leigh, [Current Date] – In a significant move, the Leigh Leopards have extended the contract of their head coach Adrian Lam, keeping him at the helm for the next three seasons. Lam, who has undoubtedly brought the best rugby to the town of Leigh in decades, will now have the opportunity to continue shaping the club’s future.
With Lam’s future secured, the Leopards can now focus on retaining and recruiting their playing squad for the 2025 season. However, the club has already faced some setbacks, including the departure of captain John Asiata to Hull FC, which has ruffled the feathers of Leigh owner Derek Beaumont.
Further reports suggest that both Zak Hardaker and Oliver Holmes will also be joining the MKM Stadium for the 2025 campaign, while winger Tom Briscoe has already made the move in a swap deal for Darnell McIntosh.
“Despite recent contract extensions for Matt Davis, Umyla Hanley, and Gareth O’Brien, the Leopards still have a significant number of players off contract, and the futures of Tom Amone and several others remain uncertain.”
It has also been revealed that Ricky Leutele is one of the few Leopards players not to be offered a new deal, indicating a potential need for a new center.
As the Leopards look to strengthen their squad for the 2025 season, they have identified several key positions to target. The glaring needs appear to be at prop, loose forward, and center, with potential departures of Amone, Asiata, and Leutele, respectively.
To address these needs, the Leopards could consider pursuing players such as Kevin Naiqama from the Huddersfield Giants for the center position, Tyrone Peachey from the Penrith Panthers for the loose forward role, and Gil Dudson from the Warrington Wolves or Mike Cooper from the Wigan Warriors to bolster the prop position.
With Adrian Lam’s future secured and the club’s focus on squad building, Leigh Leopards fans can look forward to an exciting 2025 season as the team aims to strengthen its ranks and continue its journey in the rugby league landscape.
