For the 2024 season Leigh Leopards will be fielding a reserve team with the aim of offering a pathway to play in the first team.

We want to try and unearth any hidden gems in the area that could go on to play for Adrian in the first team. So we are holding Reserve Team Training Session Trial sessions this November. The first one on the 23rd and then one the following week on the 30th.

Head of Youth Kieron Purtill who will be leading the sessions has called for anyone to get involved. “As we look to establish our first reserve team for many years, this is an important part of our male program and gives a true pathway for local talent to progress to the 1st team. As a club we are now running U16’s development team (LEAP Squad) a development academy in conjunction with Wigan & Leigh College at U18’s and now a reserve team. The reserve team will allow us to explore talent from different backgrounds while providing depth and playing opportunities  for our top squad.”
