7. RYAN BRIERLEY
Profile
In many peoples eyes Ryan was the real stand-out player for the Centurions last year when he joined the club on dual contract terms from Castleford Tigers. A quick thinking halfback, Brierley made seven starts and appeared a further 20 times from the bench where his eye catching pace, and eye for a support run, used against tired defences proved a potent combination and he grouded twenty-five tries and booted five goals.
After being released by the Tigers, Leigh pounced quickly for his signature and he followed up the agreement of his new Centurion deal with a well taken hat-trick in a late season home win over Keightley Cougars. The impact Brierley has on games also seems to lift the crowd and while Ryan like many players may have the ultimate goal of stepping up to Super League, he will be looking to earn more gametime in 2013.
Prior to signing with Castleford, Brierley previously played for Westhoughton in the amateur game and had over in Yorkshire for a couple of seasons where he impressed for both the Castleford under-18s and under-20s.
Career Summary
Castleford 2009-12 No first team appearances
Leigh 2012-date 7 appearances, 20 sub, 25 tries, 5 goals
And if were looking at Leigh , whats Thomas Coyle like? He cant be any worse than Howarth surely
Thomas Coyle cant get a start for Leigh, only played around 20 mins this season, plays for u20 every now and again, made from biscuit.
Brierley has now scored 38 tries in 39 games and created 11 tries this season, seems to have made the 7 shirt his after mainly coming off the bench last season. Rumored signed for Wire next season
