Wigan Warriors have announced two major contract extensions as Adam Keighran and Tom Forber both commit their long-term futures to the club.
📝 Adam Keighran Signs Until 2028
Adam Keighran has signed a new three-year deal that will keep him at the Warriors until the end of the 2028 season.
Keighran joined Wigan from Catalans Dragons at the start of the 2024 season. In an unforgettable debut campaign, he became a World Club Challenge, League Leaders’ Shield, and Grand Final winner — part of a historic 2024 Grand Slam season.
Despite missing the Challenge Cup Final due to suspension, the 27-year-old made a significant contribution to the team’s success. He broke through the 350-point milestone for the Club in the recent win over Castleford Tigers, tallying 15 tries and 147 goals across 45 appearances.
“I am so grateful to sign on for further 3 seasons at such a great club. It was never a tough decision to sign with Wigan.”
