Offered a 1 year contract by Cronulla. We have offered him a deal as well. Due to let the Sharks know by the end of the week whether he,s going back to them or staying in England next year.

Has he recovered from his injury yet. Seemed to be a recurring injury,probably better to release.

Seems a quandry this one, the lads obviously got talent but there's a injury cloud.

If Dan's a hooker then he has 4 other currently at Cronulla with Segeyaro being first choice, if hes a half then he has to get Chad Townsend, James Maloney and Jack Bird all established players with others already listed too. Gerard Beale has left but hes a wing/centre so maybe there are other departures not yet released, also Cooper Cronk is moving to a Sydney Based Club not yet stated?

Mitch Rein would be a good replacement is there is any truth in the rumour, I wish him good luck, Dan on whatever decision you make.

Staying.. Fantastic news! Real quality player, jesus hell of a team we'll have.

Well, there's something in the pipeline. Get in there

Do you really reckon we will be in SL in 2018?? struggle to see it TBH- but if so the squad being put together so far will be more than good enough to compete

Not 2018, but I reckon leigh have been told to prep for SL.

WOW! That is all.

you missed EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE off

That is class all over that Mortimer announcement, the lad is way way to good for Championship Rugby League.

We have a group of players here who all buying into a culture and vision for Leigh RLFC. Just one small step backward to take a giant leap forward. Up the comics !

Plenty happy people in Leigh after Mortimer news,facebook in meltdown

Brilliant news re Dan Mortimer. Having read his media release and his comment re "unfinished business" here at Leigh Centurions, he is showing exactly the attitude and commitment that the Club needs to move forward. Thank you Dan for staying at Leigh.
