1 year loan

Looking forward to seeing him in action. However, he initially seems to be competing against Wigan's Josh Woods for the scrum half spot. Has he played hooker at all?

ive only seen him play half back

best pals with josh woods

will get more game time at leigh than he will here being 4th choice

Thanks 'GiantsRL'. Looking forward to seeing how they both do.

Josh woods is described as a stand off by Wigan., they are good mates so friendly rivalry is a good thing. This is all about getting olly experience, as Leigh are training part time he can train with then but is still going to be joining in with the Giants training sessions. He can also be recalled at any time so it’s an excellent move for him and us.

In which case, he'll be competing against Ridyard - who I expect to be guiding us around the park. No real difference between scrum half and stand off these days, though. We are just grateful, given our recent troubles, to get the chance to 'borrow' both these lads. As you say, it's a 'win/win' for Leigh/Huddersfield and Wigan. It's always good to see exciting young talent on the pitch though.

ollie was great in the bradford game and will be a big hit for leigh i reckon would have liked to have seen him feature more for us though this year.

Our coach John Duffy confirmed after the Fev game, that Ollie Russell has returned to you guys....

Was always going to happen after the 1st month, Woolford wanted him back but had to wait for a month to pass 1st.

We signed him on a season-long loan deal. https://www.leighjournal.co.uk/sport/17 ... long-loan/

With an option to recall him after a month.

Oh I see....
