Wigan have won the race to sign Gold Coast Titans hooker Kruise Leeming.
The Warriors have landed the ex-Leeds captain on a four-year contract from 2024. After a fall-out at Headingley, Leeming made an immediate request to leave Super League giants Rhinos in March. That saw him switch to the NRL on a deal until the end of this season.
A clamour of clubs, including Catalans, hoped to snare the England hopeful for next term. But the former Huddersfield player said: “I am absolutely delighted to sign for the Wigan Warriors from next season. When I spoke to Matt [Peet] and Kris [Radlinski] their ambition, standards and culture at the club really resonated with me. I believe my best rugby is ahead of me and when the time comes I will give it everything to help the club achieve success on the field.”
