GREGOR Rioch is leaving Leigh RMI after just two games.

The 29-year-old defender, son of former Wanderers manager Bruce Rioch, joined the Railwaymen from Northwich, but damaged his knee ligaments against Woking last month and has been struggling to regain his fitness.

"It is an amicable agreement as Gregor wants to take up coaching," said Leigh boss Phil Starbuck, who hopes to bring in at least one new face before RMI's clash at Gravesend on Saturday.
