St Helens forward Jonah Cunningham will join his father Keiron at Leigh next season after the clubs agreed a loan deal.
The 19-year-old, who had a spell on dual registration with Sheffield Eagles in 2017, has signed a new contract with Saints but will spend the 2018 season with the Centurions.
Keiron Cunningham is now head of rugby at the Leigh - back in the Championship after their one campaign back in Super League ended with defeat to Catalans Dragons in the Million Pound Game - after being sacked as St Helens coach in April.
Full-back Ricky Bailey, 20, who has made two Super League appearances for Saints, will also be at the Leigh Sports Village for the 2018 season.
Leigh coach Neil Jukes said: "Ricky and Jonah are two young and talented individuals with real ambition to go on and achieve big things in the game.
"Both have shown real promise in their development through the Saints system and are at the stage in their careers where they are both ready to push to play first-team football on a regular basis."
Bailey has also extended his contract with St Helens, along with other youngsters Jake Spedding, Liam Cooper, Ben Morris and Aaron Smith.
