WARRINGTON young gun Matty Nicholson hopes to celebrate his England call-up by beating old club Wigan in the top-of-the-table Betfred Super League clash.
The uncapped second-row, 19, has been drafted into Shaun Wane’s 40-man extended squad ahead of their Test against France at Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday April 29. But first in-form Nicholson - one of eight Warrington players included for England - aims to make it nine wins from nine for the red-hot leaders.
On the surprise international call - Nicholson has only made 14 senior club appearances - he said: “It’s a massive achievement for myself and my family and a huge privilege. Obviously, I’d love to play for England. That’s the pinnacle of anyone’s career. All I can do is keep playing good rugby.
