I'Anson makes Widnes switch permanent

The 23-year-old former Leeds academy player joined the Co-operative Championship club earlier this year on a month's loan but injured a knee on his debut.

Widnes, whose season was ended by yesterday's 38-0 play-off defeat at Barrow, have also signed Leigh second rower Macgraff Leuluai, the younger brother of Wigan scrum half Thomas.
