Warrington Wolves boss Daryl Powell hailed “international class” Matty Ashton after the England winger signed a new deal until the end of 2026.
The 24-year-old has been in terrific form again this season, scoring seven tries in ten games for the Betfred Super League high-fliers. He also made his Test debut in England’s 64-0 win against France at Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday and securing his services long-term was one of Powell’s prime aims. Ashton has amassed 35 tries in just 54 appearances since being plucked from part-timers Swinton Lions in 2020.
Having alredy tied down England captain George Williams and Kangaroos prop Paul Vaughan to new contracts, Powell said: “It’s fantastic news that Matty has agreed to extend his deal at the club. I had full belief at the start of last year that he would become an international winger of the future and he has started this season in international quality form. He’s a fantastic person as well as a quality player. I’ve no doubt he will be a massive fans favourite for many years to come.”
