FORMER Wigan Warriors star John Bateman is set for an immediate switch to Super League.
The Daily Telegraph has revealed that Bateman will leave immediately and finish this season with a Super League club, before returning to Australia to complete the remaining two years of his Wests Tigers contract in one of the more bizarre deals.
Bateman joined the Tigers on a four-year deal ahead of the 2024 NRL season in his second stint in the southern hemisphere. He played 32 matches for the Tigers, having played 34 for Canberra between 2019-20.
