With immediate effect, we are happy to announce the loan signings of forwards Louis Brogan and Jacob Gannon from Leigh Leopards.
Naturally, Louis started his professional career at Swinton in 2020. Before joining the LSV, he scored 12 tries in 74 games till the end of the 2023 season.
22-year-old middle Jacob Gannon rose through the ranks of the Warrington Wolves. The son of former Balmain, Halifax, Huddersfield, Hull KR, and Widnes prop Jim Gannon, he has played for the Bradford Bulls, London Broncos, and Halifax in first team action over the last two seasons.
“With the recent injuries to Gav Bennion and Lewis Hall, it was important we looked for players with a similar playing style,” stated Alan Kilshaw, head coach of the Swinton Lions. Louis and Jacob both suit that description nicely. Having come from full-time settings, they are eager to play their best football for the Lions and are prepared for any match.
“On behalf of the Lions, I’d like to thank all involved at the Leopards for their willingness to make this arrangement happen and in such an efficient fashion,” Swinton CEO Steve Wild continued. Although we already know Louis a little better than Jacob, we have no doubt that both boys will contribute greatly to the Lions while also receiving some high standard match time which ultimately can only assist their parent club.”
