“The Club as a whole has been really welcoming so it’s been a super easy transition – this feels like where I’m meant to be.”

Veivers added: “I’m really looking forward to playing in the Betfred Women’s Super League over here in England and joining Wigan. The Club and environment here is amazing and I couldn’t be more happy! 

“I think it’s a massive opportunity for me as a player and a role model for the younger generation coming through in Papua New Guinea & Australia, just showing that there’s a lot of opportunities out there in the World if you just stay determined you can do anything!”
