Mitch Clark to Leigh!

Post by southportcdm »

I see Mitch has left Cas and signed for Leigh for the rest of the season. Seems an odd one to me. Once he'd been released by Cas surely we could have made an offer even though Cas clearly didn't want him coming to us. Perhaps we should offer Leigh a few quid now he's no longer a Cas player.

Wigan Warriors given green light for Mitch Clark

Kiwi prop Mitch Clark - who has signed for Wigan from next season - has left Castleford with immediate effect 'to pursue another short-term playing opportunity'.
The 26-year-old had fallen down the pecking order at the Tigers since announcing his decision to join the Warriors.

He had been playing on dual-registration for Championship side Halifax, but he would be free to join up early with Wigan - whose middles have taken a battering in recent weeks.

“Mitch has left the Tigers to pursue another short-term playing opportunity," said Castleford director of rugby Jon Wells.

“Mitch has recently found first-team football hard to come by at the Tigers, and all parties felt a move away would enable him to do what rugby league players like doing best.

“He’s been a great bloke and a big contributor at the club over the last 18 months, and we would like to wish him all the very best for the rest of this year and as a Wigan player from next season.”

Hang on, I thought Lam confirmed that we were looking to bring him in early? How is it he's signed for Leigh? Unless Cas only agreed to release him if he didn't come to Wigan?

We may have made an arrangement with Leigh 😉

Leigh have released hock and gregson and( so called) signed Sau and Clarke....... somehow i think Clark and Sau will be on more wage so expect Clark to wigan in a swap for a young wigan forward like Wells for example.......Nothing concrete but i know Sau has signed 100%
