Pair of Leopards become Lions on loan!

26 March 2024

LOUIS BROGAN BACK AT HEYWOOD ROAD, & JOINED BY JACOB GANNON

We are delighted to announce the loan signings of Leigh Leopards’ forward pair, Louis Brogan and Jacob Gannon, with immediate effect.

Louis of course began his professional career at Swinton in 2020, and scored 12 tries in 74 appearances up until the end of the 2023 season ahead of his move to the LSV.

Jacob Gannon is a 22 year old middle who emerged through the system at Warrington Wolves. He’s seen first team action with Bradford Bulls, London Broncos and Halifax over the past couple of seasons, and is the son of former Balmain, Halifax, Huddersfield, Hull KR and Widnes prop Jim Gannon.

Swinton Lions Head Coach, Alan Kilshaw, said, “With the recent injuries to Gav Bennion and Lewis Hall it was important we looked for players with a similar playing style. Both Louis and Jacob fit that mould well, and coming from a full-time environment they are match ready and keen to contribute to the Lions and play their best football for us.”

Swinton CEO Steve Wild added, “On behalf of the Lions I’d like to thank all concerned at the Leopards for their willingness to make this arrangement happen and in such an efficient fashion. We already know Louis a little better than Jacob, but we’re confident that both lads will make a valuable contribution to the Lions, and at the same time get some high standard match time which ultimately can only assist their parent club.”
