Widnes Vikings player MacGraff Leuluai has joined former club Leigh Centurions on an initial one-month loan deal.

Leuluai, younger brother of Wigan Warriors scrum-half Thomas, first joined Leigh in 2009 and made 38 appearances for them before moving to the Vikings.

He has appeared in just eight Stobart Super League games this season, seven off them off the bench.

Leigh have released prop Steve Nash back to Castleford Tigers to make way for the arrival of the back-row forward, who is set to go straight into the team to play York on Sunday.

Centurions coach Paul Rowley said: “MacGraff adds a bit of value to us. I’ve a lot of time for him. He is a nice lad and a talented player.

“It will be a breath of fresh air for him and we are offering him an opportunity to get some confidence and continuity into his game.”
