Ipape was sacked by the PNG Hunters last month for disciplinary issues but was quickly signed up by the Adrian Lam coached English club, Leigh Centurions for the 2022 season.
Ipape scored one of the most amazing Kumul tries of all time on the stroke of halftime to set up the stunning second half comeback for PNG Kumuls to upset Great Britain 28-10 in 2019 at the Oil Search National Football Stadium.
