Peteru said: "I am looking forward to working with [Leigh coach] John Duffy again after being with him briefly while on dual-reg ' at Featherstone.

"I've been really impressed with him and I think he's a coach who can help me improve and strengthen my game.

"There are a few of the old Hull KR boys here I'm looking forward to seeing again and we're building something good for next year."

Duffy said: "Nate is a big boy, a non-nonsense forward who adds plenty of value to our squad and I am sure he will be a great acquisition for us."
