Reading the story about Sheffield chasing him, and it seems he is OOC at the end of the season so it probably would be a loan deal til then. Iguess with him trying to secure himself a contract for next year somewhere.

I don't mind him as a player but I think some are forgetting where we are.
If we are to stay in the top 8 fight long term (or even stay in SL through the middle 8s) we need to have better quality than him.

Martyn is a great footballer hes also a great lad and he will only enhance your squad, Leighs loss is deffo Wakeys gain.
Good luck pal!

I don't think he's coming to us, though I wouldn't complain if he did.

Reports claiming that Wakefield have signed Martyn Ridyard on loan from the Leigh Centurions. On twitter

Think bring ridyard in on loan is a good cover signing. With the way we throw the ball around at times think he will fit in ok as we all know that's how Leigh have played at times last couple of seasons! And with also the signing on fifta looking like nearly done think this is a nice boost for the squad coming into some big hard games

Maybe not?? Strange going's on..

I have also seen it on Twitter

Our media manager and Ridyards agent quoted as saying no knowledge of it.

MC comments suggest it unlikely as well

Cue the slagging off before he's even played a game.

That came out before the Twitter comments I referred to

If all true, welcome on board Marty.

Always prepared to give a player a chance to prove himself

If this does come off, as well as Fifita, it would be quality business by the club.

Nothing on club website yet

MC as said on twitter we havent and by all accounts hes bradford bound

Can't see us lending him to one of our biggest Championship rivals - unless it's to sabotage them - a bit like when Ian Millward left us for Wigan, and nearly got them relegated!

I dont know where League Express get there rumours from but this seems like another one they have got wrong!

When they concern Leigh it's normally an ex coach

Ridyard is in Leigh's '19' for the Featherstone game, although it almost looks as if his name has been added as an afterthought. (out of squad number sequence)

I thought he was signing for us.....

Your point being?

Re-signed for Leigh for two years.

Shame that. Would've been an ideal backup.

He would have been good cover for the remainder of this season.

However I would rather we got someone better for 2017.

Could be a blessing in diguise and maybe we are aiming higher in the long term
