TROUT WON'T BE A BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND

Former Giants prop coming back from bad injury & ready to make mark with revival club Leigh

- DAVE CRAVEN

AFTER a serious knee injury wrecked his season, new signing Owen Trout is ready to prove a point with "revival" club Leigh.

The rangy England Knights prop ruptured an anterior cruciate ligament playing for Huddersfield in May and is still battling back to fitness.

But he is looking forward to getting going for his new employers, who took Super League by storm this year.

Trout, 24, turned down the chance of a new deal at Giants to join Leigh.

And having seen the promoted club win their first Challenge Cup in 52 years and reach the playoffs for the first time, he knows he has made the right decision.

Fellow prop Robbie Mulhern became the first Leigh player to represent England in more than 40 years when he featured against Tonga this month.
