New Warrington Wolves signing wants NRL return after England stint

Billy Magoulias may be a Warrington Wolves player for the next two seasons, but he has already outlined his intentions to return to the NRL sometime in the future.

Magoulias, a Greek international, came through the system at Cronulla, but his current deal with the Sharks ran out at the end of last season.

The forward – who can play anywhere in the pack except hooker – has made just 11 appearances for the Sharks, but all of them have come from the substitutes’ bench.

“I’m really excited to get an opportunity and play with Warrington,” Magoulias told the Daily Telegraph. “They are a professional organisation and I’m really looking forward to getting over there.

“I would like to make a statement with Warrington, and then hopefully return to the NRL at some stage.”

Warrington, meanwhile, have already signed Greg Minikin, Peter Mata’utia, Joe Bullock, James Harrison and Oliver Holmes, with incoming head coach Daryl Powell keen to strengthen before the Wolves head into pre-season.

The Wolves finished third in the Super League table in 2021, but fell short in the elimination play-off as Steve Price’s reign at the Halliwell Jones ended in a whimper in a 19-0 loss to Hull KR.
