Samoan centre agrees two-year deal at the JJB
Samoan international George Carmont has agreed to join Wigan Warriors on a two-year-deal from Newcastle Knights.
The 29-year-old is likely to play a part in the 2008 World Cup for his country, having played a key role in their qualification.
However, after spending the past three seasons in the NRL, Carmont can't wait to test himself in the Super League.
He said: "This is a great opportunity for me to join one of the biggest names in world rugby.
"I have spoken to some of the Super League players in the Samoan squad and, in particular, (new team-mate) Harrison Hansen and I am really looking forward to joining Wigan Warriors."
Carmont will slot into the Wigan centres, with coach Brian Noble thrilled to have captured his signature.
He said: "I know George well and I am delighted to have signed a player of his quality.
"He has been excellent in the NRL for the last couple of years and is a good addition to the Wigan squad."
