Zak Hardaker gives cryptic clue over future

Zak Hardaker has given a cryptic clue over where his future lies on social media.

The Wigan fullback has been the subject of intense speculation following news that he has moved back to Pontefract with his wife and small child to be closer to his family.

Kris Radlinski described the future of Hardaker as a ‘live’ situation at a Wigan fans’ forum over a fortnight ago, with Castleford Tigers and a number of other clubs said to be in for him.

Hardaker, however, showed his dismay at having gone out of the play-offs at the first time of asking following an 8-0 loss to Leeds Rhinos last night, but, crucially he said nothing about where his future lay in 2022.

“Another year done. Gutted to have finished this week. Thank you everyone for your support this year! The effort wasn’t questionable this year, but we learn and we move! Love the boys 🍒⚪️ “
