Ethan Havard says he is ‘proud’ to play for Wigan Warriors following our 14-12 Challenge Cup Quarter Final victory over Warrington Wolves at the DW Stadium.
Reflecting on the performance, Havard said: “Yeah it was some win! The boys showed a lot of resilience, going down to 12 pretty early but we just dug deep, stuck to the game plan and happy to come away with the win.”
Havard returned to action for the first time since he dislocated his elbow in the Warriors’ Sixth Round win over Leeds Rhinos last month.
Speaking on his recovery, he said: “It’s been good, a lot of hard work but I’ve got a lot of people to thank in the back room. The likes of the physios and the strength and conditioning coaches, they’ve put a lot of work in with me – so I really appreciate that.”
The Warriors will now face Hull KR in the Semi Final at Headingley Stadium on Sunday 23 July, and speaking on the tie, Havard said: “They’re a tough team to come up against but we’ve won this stuff before, we know what it takes to win a Semi Final.”
On the chance to get to Wembley, Havard added: “It would be amazing. It’d be the first time that a lot of us have played at Wembley so that would be an amazing experience and something we’d remember for the rest of our lives.”
The Club announced post-match that the Prop Forward has signed a new four-year deal, and speaking on the extension, Havard said: “It’s pretty special. I’m proud to play here and to pull this jersey on every week and the Club is building, so I’m excited for what the future holds here.”
