He left Leeds and "signed" for Fev. Part way through the season Leeds had an injury or two on the wings and Luke was in good form for Fev, so Leeds signed him back. He was then dual regged back to Fev when he wasn't needed at Leeds anymore (and then again last season).
There were a couple of others too who signed for Fev so they didn't count as Leeds players, but then signed back for Leeds afterwards.

Warrington did it too with a few of their players, although I forget who the Championship club involved was. That was stupid enough to the point that Wire then loaned one of the players out to another club, forgetting he'd supposedly left and signed for someone else.

Well, again, it's one of those occasions where the supporters haven't been told the truth All the news outlets were reporting that Evans had gone on loan to Leeds. For example https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... elp-bulls/ Now we are told that it was a permanent deal, and therefore he can be loaned back to us. Obviously if it wasn't a permanent deal there would be no need for a loan from Leeds - he would just be sent back here to see out his contract. I'm not saying it is on a Marc Green-level so far as untruths, but once again we aren't being told the full story.

Sounds similar to the Briscoe movements - player signs on loan from Champ club to Leeds, shortly after signs permanent contract but is then loaned (DRd) back to Champ club....

I believe they only signed him recently so they could loan him out to keep him match fit. Bulls were given first offer on him.

Spot on mate. I thought it was pretty clear as well.

Maybe our use of his services this season was the transfer fee?

He was out of contract at the end of the season, and his contract had the usual 'if an SL club comes in etc' so, on that basis, it was probably the best outcome for us? I know we had to allow him to leave but no-one said we had to allow him to go for nothing.
