JOHN Duffy is looking out for leadership qualities as Leigh step up their training in preparation for a return to the Betfred Super League. Duffy is “very impressed” with the attitude of his new look squad as he contemplates who to choose as captain for Centurions’ 2021 campaign. Scottish international Danny Addy was skipper for last year’s abandoned Championship season with Ben Reynolds and Liam Hood named as joint vice-captains. Addy was a popular choice but has since joined Salford while Reynolds is now with Toulouse, potentially putting hooker Hood in the frame. In 2019, Duffy named Micky Higham as captain with Martyn Ridyard-now at Swinton- as his deputy. Higham also led the team in 2017 when Leigh were last members of the top flight.
