OUR EARLY YEARS
Leigh have never been far away from the forefront of rugby league and were indeed one of the first pioneer of our sport and a founder member back in 1895.
Leigh was one known for three things; Coal, Cotton and Rugby League. Now the coal-mines and cotton mills are gone but the Rugby League club remains.
A club with great tradition and heart, our supporters are fiercely loyal and have followed us home and away since our early days.
As we look back down our timeline, you can see the passion from our fans and players that have proudly represented the club, whether it be in the famous cherry and white hoops, which will never be forgotten, or the leopard print of our modern club.
From training on the hay topped marshlands of Leigh, to Cup Final commutes to the hallowed turf of Wembley, our fans have always been at the very heart of this club and why the players do what they do week in week out.
NOW IS OUR TIME
A new era has dawned on this great towns club, and as we roar into this period as Leopards, we take inspiration and motivation from the successes of our former glory days. The vision is clear and the goal is for Super League longevity and silverware is felt by every player, coach and fan. It’s time for the Leopards to emulate our namesake and take to the field with aggression, ferocity and hunger to win.
From Mick Martyn to John Woods, Neil Turley to John Asiata, each and every player who has graced Hilton Park, The Leopards Den at LSV, or any other blade of grass in the Leigh Jersey, our players are playing for this club with pride and passion. Winning solves everything! And we promise as a club to continue to work to this ethos to drive results and bring back success to Leigh.
