Oldham have signed Leigh Centurions winger Ryan Ince on a month's loan.

The 23-year-old former Widnes winger, who scored 19 tries in 22 games for the Vikings last season, will start training with Roughyeds this week and will be in contention to make his Oldham debut in Sunday's big and important Betfred Championship game against Bradford Bulls at Bower Fold (3pm kick off).

He moved from Widnes to Leigh during the last close season, but has yet to make his competitive debut for the Centurions although he featured in Leigh's two pre-season warm-up games against Salford Red Devils and Wigan Warriors.

His early rugby was at Widnes Moorfield and during his time at the Vikings he played on dual-reg for Whitehaven, Hunslet and North Wales Crusaders, running up stats in senior rugby to date of 70 matches, 37 tries and 148 points.
