Andrew Dixon leaves Salford Red Devils for Leigh Centurions

Salford Red Devils forward Andrew Dixon has terminated his loan deal with Halifax and joined fellow Championship side Leigh Centurions.

The 24-year-old has penned a two-year deal with the Centurions after being released by the Red Devils.

"Andrew is a similar age to many players in the squad and fits in with my theme of developing this squad in a five-year block where these talented players can stay together," Centurions head coach Paul Rowley said on the club's official website.

"He is very well respected and has a wealth of experience. He works hard and is ambitious. I'm looking forward to working with him and to seeing him challenge for a place in our already talented squad."

Prior to his spell with the Red Devils, Dixon played for St Helens, making 67 appearances for the Saints and playing a part in the 2010 and 2011 Grand Finals.
