Leigh Leopards centre Jack Hughes will miss the Super League club's next three matches after picking up a suspension for a Grade E offence.

The charge of unnecessary contact with a player who is injured or may be injured occurred in the Leopards' 38-12 win at Bradford Bulls.

Hughes, 34, will now miss the trips to Hull KR and Toulouse and the Magic Weekend fixture with Warrington Wolves on 4 July.

He is the only player to be banned for an incident in round 14 of the Super League season, with nine other players also charged by the match review committee.
