Warrington Wolves legends help sign Newcastle Knights star Lachlan Fitzgibbon

Warrington legends Michael Monaghan and Kurt Gidley helped persuade Newcastle Knights star Lachlan Fitzgibbon to take up a deal with the Super League club.

Wolves have confirmed the Australian second-row will join them on a three-year contract from next season. Fitzgibbon’s arrival - which sees teenage England back-row Matty Nicholson switch to loose forward - has been described as a “great addition” by Warrington boss Daryl Powell.

And Fitzgibbon explained how Monaghan, the Aussie half-back who won the Challenge Cup three times with Wolves during his stay from 2008 and 2014, had played his part in the deal along with ex-Kangaroos ace Gidley who also featured at Halliwell Jones Stadium.
