Leigh Centurions are set to add Matt Davis to their squad for 2023. Rugby League Live understands the Warrington Wolves forward will be part of Adrian Lam's squad next season following the end of his contract with the Wire.
Davis, 25, has spent the past four seasons at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and was part of the side that won the Challenge Cup in 2019. Capable of playing in a number of positions including loose forward, back-row and hooker, the Leicester-born talent has made 39 Super League appearances for Warrington since his move from London Broncos, scoring four tries.
Davis burst onto the scene with the Broncos as part of their Championship-winning side in 2018. That earned him a move to Warrington, where he quickly became a part of their first-team plans. He has remained a regular this year and started in their recent defeat to Wakefield Trinity.
