Leigh Centurions • Re: Player Retention

I have just listened to the last of three interviews of Derek on the Dock House Rugby Show on YouTube. All three were very interesting but the last talks more about our club specifically, how we built this season, and what the next 3-5 year aims are. Derek talks about player retention and us looking to resign our best players (Ferguson and Amone are mentioned), and how the right environment is equally as important as the money. He has a long term goal for the club that sees us at the top end of the top flight, and seems very committed to making it happen in the next 3-5 years. The immediate goal is promotion followed next season, by not just top flight survival but being in the upper half of the league. This squad has been assembled as a foundation for a SL squad, and he recognises that retention of as many of our better current squad is essential, with the addition of more quality players also.
All three interviews are a great listen, but the third gives a real insight into what this thread is all about. Player acquisition and retention.
