Now those recruits have settled in, the Leopards are reaping the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>One of the players who Leigh signed ahead of the 2025 campaign but has yet to make his debut is Will Brough,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriousaboutrl.com\/former-man-of-steel-gives-verdict-after-son-signs-for-leigh-leopards-99459\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> the son of Super League legend Danny Brough<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Playing almost 250 games for Huddersfield, Brough sits second in the all-time rankings for goals kicked in Super League, and Adrian Lam has now confirmed that his son Will has signed a new deal with Leigh.<\/p>\n<p>Leigh Leopards coach touts \u2018one for the future\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It was initially reported that Will Brough had signed a one-year deal with Leigh with the teen understood to be off contract at the end of the year, however, Adrian Lam confirmed that wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got a two-year deal with us. It was a one-year deal, but we\u2019ve extended on that,\u201d the Leigh Leopards coach revealed when speaking to the media on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe saw the talent early on in him and we\u2019re pretty excited really. Whatever that position may be, whether it\u2019s centre or half or full-back, I think we\u2019ll work that out in the future but he is one for the future for our club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brough has been out all season with a shoulder injury but looks set for some game time with League One flyers Midland Hurricanes after<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriousaboutrl.com\/rugby-league-news-hull-kr-and-leigh-leopards-men-among-triple-signing-made-by-league-one-club-107164\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> joining them on loan until the end of the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about Brough, Lam said:\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s got a great bit of humour about him around the place, a very popular member of the group, but very young too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had a shoulder reconstruction, so he missed the majority of the season with that, so he hasn\u2019t been able to push for that starting team. I think he\u2019s one for the future for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo get out to Midlands and play a bit of time was great value for him and certainly he\u2019ll get a lot of confidence back from that injury moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brough played in the halves for Midlands in their loss to Whitehaven this past weekend, marking his first appearance of the year and kicking two from three off the tee.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udcf0 \ud835\uddea\ud835\udddc\ud835\udddf\ud835\udddf \ud835\uddd5\ud835\udde5\ud835\udde2\ud835\udde8\ud835\uddda\ud835\udddb \ud835\udddf\ud835\udde2\ud835\uddd4\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd8\ud835\uddd7 \ud835\udde7\ud835\udde2 \ud835\udde0\ud835\udddc\ud835\uddd7\ud835\udddf\ud835\uddd4\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd7\ud835\udde6 \ud835\udddb\ud835\udde8\ud835\udde5\ud835\udde5\ud835\udddc\ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddd4\ud835\udde1\ud835\uddd8\ud835\udde6<\/p>\n<p>Leigh Leopards can confirm that halfback Will Brough has joined Midlands Hurricanes on loan until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Read More \u2b07\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leigh Leopards (@LeighLeopardsRL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeighLeopardsRL\/status\/1953833554485330102?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753331296_223_srl-logo.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leigh Leopards boss Adrian Lam has confirmed an extended deal for one of their young talents who is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67657,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-67656","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
