Bourouh joins Halifax on loan

Wigan Warriors hooker Amir Bourouh has joined Betfred Championship side Halifax Panthers on a season-long loan.  

Before signing for Wigan’s Scholarship system in 2015, Bourouh played for Halifax-based amateur club, Siddal ARLFC.  

After making his professional debut for Wigan in 2019, the 20-year-old Academy graduate played three games for the Warriors last season. 

Assistant coach, Matt Peet, said: “We feel this is the perfect opportunity for Amir to develop his game and allow us to monitor his performances.

“Halifax are a very professional organisation with a smart coach in Simon Grix. Amir is from Halifax and is excited to represent his local club.”
