Warrington Wolves veteran Ben Currie has signed a new two-year contract to extend his stay at the club until the end of 2028.
Making his debut for the Primrose and Blue in 2012, Currie has made over 320 appearances for the club, and earlier this season reached a landmark total of 100 career tries for the club.
A former England and Ireland international, the 31-year-old has flourished in a positional switch over the past few seasons, moving from the back row to loose forward seamlessly.
With 283 Super League appearances to his name, Currie sits fifth in Warrington’s all-time list, 26 behind Paul Wood and 109 behind Ben Westwood in first.
Whilst it is unlikely he will claim top spot, his new contract could see him rise up that table, and will already go down as one of the club’s Super League icons.
“It’s great to get it over the line,” Currie said in an interview to the Warrington YouTube Channel. “It’s a process I didn’t want to take too long because there’s not really anywhere else I want to be at the moment.
“Really happy for me and my family to stay at the club for another two years, exciting times… I came here when I was 16 years old in the academy and since then it’s felt like home pretty much.
“I’ve obviously moved in now as well, had kids over the time I’ve been here, so it’s definitely my home now. I’d say really comfortable and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at the moment.”

Warrington Wolves man signs new contract until end of 2028
Currie was one of 10 players to go into the new season off-contract at the club, and his new deal means that there are now eight players with futures left to resolve.
George Williams was another, however he has been confirmed to join the NRL next year, though his next club is not officially confirmed.
Props James Harrison, Joe Philbin and Luke Thomas are all in a contract year. Thomas earned his first Super League start of 2026 against Leigh last week, whilst Harrison and Philbin are having improved years in 2026.
James Bentley only signed a one-year deal at the club following his exit from Leeds. The back rower will be looking to extend his time at the club after a delayed start due to injury.
Half-back pair Marc Sneyd and Oli Leyland will have decisions to make throughout this season. Sneyd turned 35 in February so is coming to the end of his career, whilst Leyland has been unfortunate given his time in a Wire shirt has largely consisted of him being out with an ACL injury.
Lastly, centre Toby King and hooker Sam Powell are out of contract at the season’s end. With the likes of Zack Gardner and Aaron Lindop coming through, King’s place isn’t guaranteed however he is still a quality player on his day. Powell made his first Super League appearance of the year against the Leopards and could be set for an extended run in the side given Jordy Crowther’s fractured cheekbone.
