Watch the Wigan Warriors gear up for the 2017 Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Final by singing and rapping their charity single!

Wigan face Hull FC in the final of the Challenge Cup at Wembley this Saturday, and in anticipation, the Warriors squad have released a charity single!

The song, which is written and led by Warriors super fan Paul Holden and includes a not-to-be-missed John Barnes-esque rap written by Wigan centre Anthony Gelling, has started to go viral with over 120,000 views on Facebook already.

Money raised from the single will go to Wigan Youth Zone, part of national charity for young people OnSide Youth Zones.

It will also support Joining Jack, founded by ex-Warriors player Andy Johnson whose son Jack has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

"We'd been aware of Paul's song that he'd produced the previous season and thought it would be great to see if we could turn it into a charity single to raise funds for a couple of great causes," said Tim Fisher, Wigan Warriors Communications Executive.

"Paul was up for it and we approached Wigan Youth Zone to see if we could use their recording studio. The rest is musical history.
