Having shone in the early stages of pre-season, he suffered a dislocated shoulder during a friendly at Warrington Wolves and required reconstruction surgery.<\/p>\n
Just after he suffered that injury, boss Lam told LoveRugbyLeague<\/a> that discussions had already started with the versatile back about tying him down longer-term.<\/p>\n And his new deal with the Leopards<\/a> has now been rubber-stamped.<\/p>\n Leigh Leopards coach reveals length of young gun\u2019s new contract as retention confirmed<\/p>\n Brough<\/a> had been set to miss the duration of the season with his shoulder injury, but recovered in time to feature a handful of time for Leigh\u2019s reserves before heading out on loan to League 1 outfit Midlands Hurricanes last week for the remainder of 2025.<\/p>\n After turning 19 last month, he made his senior bow on Sunday for the Hurricanes, kicking two goals having been named in the halves as they lost out 26-16 at Whitehaven.<\/p>\n Speaking about the teenager in his pre-match press conference ahead of Leigh\u2019s trip to Hull FC, head coach Lam<\/a> confirmed: \u201cHe\u2019s got a two-year deal with us. It was one year to begin with, but we\u2019ve extended on that.<\/p>\n \u201cWe saw the talent early on in him and we\u2019re pretty excited. Whatever his position may be, whether it\u2019s at centre, in the halves, or at full-back, I think we\u2019ll work that out in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is one for the future for our club.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Brough in action for Leigh Leopards during a pre-season friendly in 2025<\/p>\n A Newsome Panthers and Emley Moor junior, Brough was signed by Wakefield at the age of 13 and spent the majority of last year in and around Daryl Powell\u2019s first-team squad as they enjoyed a treble-winning campaign in the second tier.<\/p>\n He never made a senior appearance at Belle Vue though, with the closest he came being Trinity\u2019s unused 18th man in a Challenge Cup tie against community club Hunslet ARLFC<\/p>\n Lam continued: \u201cIt\u2019s his first year with us. He\u2019s got a great bit of humour about him around the place, so he\u2019s a very popular member of the group.<\/p>\n \u201cBut he\u2019s very young, too, and he had a shoulder reconstruction so he missed the majority of the season with that.<\/p>\n \u201cHe hasn\u2019t been able to push for that starting team, but I think he is one for the future for us.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll get out there at Midlands now and play a bit of time, which is great value for him. That\u2019ll help him to get a great deal of confidence back after that injury.\u201d<\/p>\n WEDNESDAY\u2019S READS ON LRL<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 \u00a0Mikey Lewis \u2018on radar\u2019 of several NRL clubs with possible transfer date shared<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 \u00a0Salford Red Devils coach boldly defends owners with call for patience made<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Wigan Warriors coach provides insight into Paul Deacon appointment as admiration detailed<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49 Leigh Leopards coach explains Edwin Ipape injury struggles as \u2018honest\u2019 conversation revealed<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Will](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LRL-Feature-Image-91.jpg\")
