Two Warriors go out on loan

• Two Warriors first team squad members head out on one-month loans.
• Harvie Hill and Zach Eckersley join Ramon Silva at London Broncos.
• Both players featured in the Warriors 2023 pre-season games.

Wigan Warriors confirm that two Warriors first team squad members have gone out on a one-month loan deal at London Broncos.

Prop forward Harvie Hill and Centre Zach Eckersley, who both featured for the Warriors in pre-season, head to Betfred Championship side London Broncos on one-month loan deals. The move follows the one-month loan of Ramon Silva to the Broncos as confirmed last week.

Hill and Eckersley made their Wigan Warriors debut in 2022 and will head out on loan to gain some valuable experience.

Head of Youth, Shane Eccles commented: “This is a great opportunity for the lads to go out and gain valuable experience playing in the championship on a weekly basis. Both players have come through our Academy and Reserves pathway and are now training full time with the first team squad with the ambition of breaking into the team.

“The opportunity for the players to get weekly exposure to playing in the championship will prepare them for what is required to play at high intensity consistently. Over previous seasons we have had success of players going spending time on loan, gaining valuable experience playing in a competitive environment which has helped them learn and develop their game to push into the first team. Brad O’Neill spent time out on loan in 2021 and then played a vital role in the 2022 challenge cup campaign.”
