Leigh Leopards have signed second row forward Ethan O'Neill for the 2025 Super League season.

The 25-year-old is the son of former Leigh, London, Wigan, Widnes and Wakefield half-back Julian O'Neill.

He most recently played for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup and was registered with National Rugby League (NRL) sides South Sydney Rabbitohs and Brisbane Broncos.

"Ethan is an edge back rower who has played a lot of Queensland Cup and NSW Cup games in the past few seasons," said Leigh head of rugby Chris Chester.

"It was important to bring depth to the back row after the departure of Kai O'Donnell and I am looking forward to seeing how Ethan integrates into the squad."
