Jake Wardle sat down with Wigan TV after signing a three-year deal with the Club from Huddersfield Giants.

“It’s all happened pretty quickly to be honest,” Wardle said. “I’ve been training for England and trying to focus on that but as soon as I had the opportunity to come here I wanted to take it with both hands.”

On the reasons for joining Wigan, he said: “One of the big reasons was Matt Peet, I’ve had a good relationship with him since I was about 16-years-old and I think the Club just speaks for itself really with the success that it has had. I just want to come and do what I can for the Club and hopefully bring some more success.

“Earlier in the year at Huddersfield things didn’t quite go to plan and I ended up going out on loan. There was a possibility to come here which wasn’t to be but I’m glad that I’ve got the opportunity to come now.”

On his aims going forward, Wardle added: “For me personally, I just want to be a better player at the end of it. From a Club perspective I want to help win trophies, I want to be winning Challenge Cups, Grand Finals and be up there at the end of the year.

“The facilities are absolutely class here so I can’t wait to get stuck in and bring what I can to the team.”
