FLYING winger Leroy Rivett will become a fully-fledged member of Leigh Centurions' promotion-chasing squad this week.
Leeds-based Rivett will put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Hilton Park for the rest of the season.
Rivett, who won the Lance Todd Trophy for his four-try performance for Leeds in the 1999 Challenge Cup Final, has been with the Centurions all season but only on a month-by-month contract.
But helped by a donation from the Leigh Independent Supporters' Association, Rivett will be staying for the rest of the campaign.
Head coach Paul Terzis is delighted with Rivett's decision to stay. "He's backed himself in the three months he's been with us. Now he's been rewarded for that. We're happy to have him on board.
"He's shown a great attitude in his time with us and proved that he's a bloke who knows where the tryline is."
