Wigan have given Jake Shorrocks a three-year contract extension.
The 21-year-old half-back has been rewarded for his breakthrough season with a new deal tying him to the Warriors until 2020. He was already contracted for next season.
Shorrocks quickly became a regular after making his Super League debut in June but missed out on October's Grand Final win over Warrington.
Wigan coach Shaun Wane said: "Jake was very unlucky not to play in the Grand Final at the end of last season but the way he handled that disappointment has shown the measure of him as a person. He is mature for his age and a very good player too.
"We'll train for some of the pre-season without Tommy Leuluai and George Williams but that gives us even more time to work with Jake and he is a player that will only get better and better.
"We are delighted to have agreed this new contract with Jake."
Shorrocks said: "I'm really happy to have secured this new contract with Wigan and can't wait for the season to start now.
"I loved every minute of playing for the first team last year and am hungry for more games over the next three years."
