Hull FC can confirm that Jordan Thompson has rejoined Leigh Centurions with immediate effect.

The 27-year old joins up with the Betfred Championship club after finding game time hard to come by at the Black & Whites in recent weeks.

Thompson rejoins the Centurions, who he spent the majority of the 2018 season with, before a spell with Leeds Rhinos for the Middle 8s campaign.

Speaking on his decision to leave the club, Thompson had this message:

“At this stage in my career I feel I need to be playing week-in, week-out and Lee was honest enough for me to know that unfortunately it isn’t going to happen at Hull FC with the squad we have here.

“I’ve loved my two spells here and I jumped at the opportunity to come back to the club where I have made some great memories and some mates for life.

“Recently reality has hit that I want to be playing regularly at my age as it is a short career and I just feel I need to get doing that at Leigh.

“I’d like to thank everyone at the club for their support and the chance to wear the black and white shirt again and would like to wish all the boys the very best for the rest of the season.”

Hull FC head coach Lee Radford said: “I’ve spoken to Jordan over the last couple of weeks and unfortunately I can’t guarantee him regular rugby.

“He’s at an age in his career where he needs to be playing every week, and I’m sure he’ll do that with Leigh where he was outstanding last season.

“Everyone at the club is sad to see Thommo leave but we recognise it is probably the right move for him. We’d like to wish him all the best for the future.”
