Wigan Warriors boost as forward signs new deal

Wigan Warriors have confirmed that off-contract club captain Liam Farrell has signed a new deal with the club.

Farrell was one of the highest-profile Super League stars going off contract at the end of the 2025 season with the 34-year-old potentially set to end his long Wigan Warriors career.

That has now been avoided with Wigan confirming that their captain has signed a new two-year deal as an extension to his current contract, thus tying the second-rower to the Warriors until the end of the 2027 season.

Farrell will be 37 come the end of the 2027 season so it is highly likely that he will represent the club for the remainder of his career, having spent all of it bar six games on loan at Widnes with his home town club.

Having debuted in 2010, Farrell is knocking on the door of 400 games for Wigan – a feat that he will likely pass this season if he stays healthy.

With the confirmation of two more years on his contract, the second-rower could easily surpass the 450 mark and further cement his legacy as one of the club’s finest-ever captains.

Liam’s commitment is a huge boost for us all at Wigan Warriors, and I’m excited to see him drive us forward in the years to come.”
