Leigh half-back McNamara extends deal

Ben McNamara made 20 appearances in Super League for Leigh this season

Leigh half-back Ben McNamara has extended his contract through until the end of next season.

The 23-year-old, who is the son of former England and Catalans coach Steve, joined on a two-year deal from Hull FC before the 2024 campaign.

He made 20 appearances in Super League this year as the Leopards claimed a third-placed finish in the regular season table.

"I've never experienced a team spirit and camaraderie like we have at the club and the future is really exciting," he told the club website.
