Wigan Warriors have announced the signing of back row forward John Bateman from Bradford Bulls on a three-year contract that will see the Dudley Hill product play for the Warriors up to and including the 2016 season with a further option for 2017. Wigan will pay Bradford Bulls an undisclosed fee for the 20-year-old who still had two years remaining on his contract with the Bulls.
Bateman will join the Warriors for pre-season training at Orrell later this month.
