LEIGH RMI have been boosted by the signing of Stuart Whittaker ahead of their tricky visit to Northwich.

Whittaker spent a month with the Railwaymen from the middle of September, scoring two goals before returning to Chester City at the end of his loan spell.

Since then, Steve Waywell has been on the trail of the ex-Wanderers winger and got his man on Friday - Whittaker heading straight into the squad to face the Vics at Wincham Park.
