• Christian Wade will leave Wigan Warriors at the end of the season.
• The 34-year-old will take up another opportunity in Rugby Union.
• Warriors Head Coach Matt Peet said: “He’s been a true professional from day one, with a great attitude and real commitment to the team.”

Wigan Warriors can confirm that Christian Wade will leave the Club following the conclusion of the 2025 Betfred Super League season to take up another opportunity in Rugby Union at Newcastle Red Bulls.

The Slough-born 34-year-old joined the Club from Gloucester on a short-term deal earlier this year utilising the talent transfer rules around the salary cap.

Wade, who has also had a spell with the Buffalo Bills in the NFL, played two first team games scoring two tries. He also had a number of outings for the Warriors’ Reserves team.

Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet said: “I’d like to thank Christian and his family for everything they’ve brought to Wigan during his time here. He’s been a true professional from day one, with a great attitude and real commitment to the team. 

“We’ve really enjoyed having him in the group and we wish him and his family all the very best as he moves on to this exciting new chapter with Newcastle. It is clear to see why he has had such an outstanding career.”

Everyone at Wigan Warriors wishes Christian the very best for the future.
