Gutted for him. Something clearly changed from before to after that rib injury.
He was in quality form until that point and although he was still sublime with ball in hand at the back end of the season he was suddenly very shaky under the high ball and clearly nursing an injury.
Did a brave job in tough circumstances, playing out of position for most of the season. His performance when we hammered Saints at the LSV was as good as anyone has put in for Leigh in my time. He was untouchable.
Wish him all the best. Finding his replacement will be a huge decision for the club.
