WIGAN WARRIORS have laid down a marker to their Super League rivals with the news that Jai Field has signed a new four-year deal.
The livewire Australian was out of contract at the end of the 2024 Super League season (with the club holding an option to extend a further year), but now he has committed his long-term future to the Warriors and stay until the end of 2027.
In his time at Wigan so far, Field has made 59 appearances and scored 43 tries.
Head coach Matt Peet said: “Everyone associated with the Wigan Warriors will know that this is an excellent move for the club. Jai works hard on his game, he is an outstanding player and is an important part of what we are building.
“Our fans love him and rightly so, he is exciting to watch and one of those players that will inspire future generations of Rugby League players. I look forward to building our working relationship and hopefully seeing Jai enjoying success both on and off the field.”
On his new deal with the club, Field said: “I’m really pleased to be extending my stay here at Wigan. I’m very grateful that the club and the fans have shown so much faith in me over the past few seasons. It really did make it an easy decision to extend.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute of being here so far and I’m looking forward now. Hopefully, we are building towards something special with this group that the club and coaches have put together and that really excites me to be hanging around.”
