Warrington react to departure of long-serving forward

The Warrington Wolves have reacted to the departure of Chris Hill.

The prop forward had enjoyed a decade of service in the primrose and blue after joining in 2012.

Hill has made 295 appearances for the Wire, scoring 35 tries, winning the Challenge Cup twice (2012 and 2019), League Leaders’ Shield (2016) and made the Super League Dream Team on three occasions (2012, 2014 and 2016). Hill has represented the Club in eight major finals and also captained the side between 2016 and 2019.

The prop has agreed a two-year-deal with fellow Super League club Huddersfield Giants, with Hill explaining the difficult decision to leave.

“It’s meant everything to represent this Club – not just for me but for my family.

“It’s my second home now and always will be. I’ll be looking at the fixtures and trying to get down as much as possible still. The fans will be greatly missed and they’ve treated me well over the last 10 years. Hopefully they give me a good reception whenever I come back.

“There’s many good memories. Walking out with my lad at Wembley and Old Trafford, winning Challenge Cups, getting my international career going by playing here. All the friends I’ve made here too – not just players but the staff, directors and sponsors.

“All good things come to an end and I’m looking forward to the next challenge with Huddersfield.”

And, now the Warrington club itself has said goodbye on their Instagram page.
