LEIGH Centurions' points ace Neil Turley has broken one club record and is closing in on another that's stood for almost 20 years.
Full-back Turley needs five goals to equal the club record of 173, including two drop goals, in a season by Chris Johnson in 1985-86. Johnson played in all but one of Leigh's 43 matches that season.
Turley broke the club record for points in a season with five goals, including a drop goal, in the 21-14 LHF Healthplan National League One home defeat of Whitehaven on Sunday. He has now totalled 427 points from 24 tries and 168 goals, including five drop goals, after playing in 26 of Leigh's 30 matches.
Turley set the old record himself with 426 points in 2001-02 when he scored 29 tries and 155 goals after playing in 32 of their 42 matches.
Turley also holds the Leigh record for most tries in a season with 55 in 2000-01 - a figure that's widely believed to be a world record for a full-back.
