Jack Hughes agrees new deal with treble-chasing Warrington Wolves

Former Wigan and Huddersfield second rower Jack Hughes has agreed a new contract with treble-chasing Warrington which will take him to the end of the 2019 season.

Hughes, 24, has made 20 appearances for the Wolves since joining them from Huddersfield at the end of last season and was man of the match in last Saturday's Ladbrokes Challenge Cup semi-final win over Wakefield.

Warrington head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith said: "I am delighted Jack's re-signed. He's a pleasure to work with. He's a very good professional and I have enjoyed watching his development.

"He's been a strong, consistent performer for us this year and while he's still developing as a young back rower he's already showing what he's capable of and that there's more to come.

"He's a really exciting prospect for the future as well as currently doing a very good job for us. He settled in exceptionally well - it's like he's been here for years and he's the type of player we want to be part of our great club."

Hughes, who had 12 months left on his initial deal, added: "It was a no-brainer for me to extend my contract.

"I am really enjoying my rugby here and to be a part of this club is something I am very proud of. The club is going places on and off the field and I want to be involved in that for years to come."
