FIRST TEAM SQUAD
LAST TIME OUT
2021 MATCHES
Head Coach: Stuart Littler
Stuart Littler was
promoted to the position of Head Coach in July 2017 when John Duffy moved to
Fev. He guided them to survival in the Championship, avoiding relegation by one
place in the Championship Shield. Then in 2018 he repeated the survival by
virtue of the Championship being increased to 14 teams and a play-off against
Workington. In 2019 they finished well clear of the relegation positions.
His playing career was
primarily as a centre. He began with Salford in 1998 and stayed there until
moving to Leigh in 2011. In 2014 he played for Rochdale on loan and then spent
the final two years of his playing career with Swinton in 2015 and 2016. He
also played 19 games for Ireland and has been the Ireland head coach since 2018
and has guided through the qualifications to take their place in the 2021 World
Cup.
Captain: Will Hope
Will Hope (who usually plays at second row or loose forward) began his career with Salford in 2013. Whilst there he had loan spells with Oldham and Sheffield and signed for Oldham in 2015. He joined Sheffield in 2017 and then came top Swinton in 2018. He is an Irish international.
Star Man: Martyn Ridyard
He made his début with Leigh in 2009 and stayed there for 8 seasons during the last of which he had a loan spell in Super League with Huddersfield. He spent the 2018 season with Fev before returning for two more years at Leigh. In the brief 2020 season he played one game on loan at Rochdale.
