Leigh have signed Warrington's Wales international Ben Evans on a month's loan to cover a pair of suspensions.

The 23-year-old prop has yet to feature for the Wolves this season after rupturing a hamstring last year and has been playing on a dual registration for League 1 club Rochdale.

Evans, whose twin brother Rhys made eight appearances for the Centurions on dual-registration in 2011, could make his debut in Saturday's Championship match against Whitehaven in the absence of suspended duo Gareth Hock and Jamie Acton.

Coach Neil Jukes said: "We are a bit down on troops in the next couple of weeks and it was important we did things right by the team and ensured there was enough cover and strength and competition for places.

"We are always on the look-out for good, young and hungry players and Ben has enough Super League experience to add to our team and enhances the strength across the board."
