Hull KR forward Matty Gee joins Leigh

Correspondent
Leigh have signed Hull KR forward Matty Gee for the 2021 Championship campaign.

The 25-year-old former Salford player joined the Robins from London Broncos at the end of the 2019 season and has made nine appearances so far this year.

Leigh coach John Duffy said: “I looked at signing Matty when he was still at London and he’s a player I’ve always been aware of.

“He’s tough, consistent and I think he will benefit being closer to home. He runs good lines and will be a great addition to our squad.”

Gee said: “I can’t wait to get started with Leigh. I’m a Billinge lad and I’ve been looking to move closer to home so when the chance came to come to Leigh, it was a no-brainer for me.

“Leigh are a club with a big fanbase and a great stadium and I’m looking forward to helping them push for Super League.”
