LOAN star Jason Donohue has joined the growing colony of Leigh-based players at Keighley.

The scrum-half will play on rent for the Yorkshire side from Hull until the end of the season.

He had just completed a three-month loan deal with Leigh and had agreed to stay on at Hilton Park on a month-by-month basis.

But Keighley moved in with a financial package that suited Hull - and the player had little option but to move on.

Donohue now joins three other Leigh-based players in the Cougar Park camp: Lee Hansen, Christian Tyrer and Alex Cain.

Yet, despite the financial advantages, Donohue was reluctant to leave his hometown club.

"I enjoyed my three months back at Leigh, even if the results have been going against us," he said.

"But I don't control my own destiny. Hull hold my registration and they can decide for which club I play."
