Josh Charnley moved within five tries of Ryan Hall’s Super League record to help secure a fourth win of the season for Leigh Leopards against Huddersfield Giants.

On his 400th appearance, Charnley’s two second-half finishes took him up to 263 career Super League tries and helped the Leopards to a 30-16 victory.

His double supplemented four tries in the first half with two from AJ Towse, one from Innes Senior and a penalty try for Lachlan Lam, who was tackled high a yard from the line.

Leigh, who were bottom after losing to Warrington two matches ago, move up to eighth before the weekend’s games with a second consecutive win. Defeat for Huddersfield leaves them level on points with Toulouse at the foot of the table.
