“I’m made up” – Danny Walker signs new Warrington deal

Warrington have given hooker Danny Walker a 12-month contract extension which will keep him at his hometown club until at least the end of 2022.

Walker, who turned 22 on Tuesday, has made 38 appearances since joining the Wolves from Widnes as back-up to England hooker Daryl Clark ahead of the 2019 season.

Warrington coach Steve Price, who is leaving the club at the end of the year, said: “It’s exciting news for the club to re-sign Danny. He’s a local junior who I know loves representing his hometown club.

“Ever since joining his performances and attitude have been first class and it’s been great to see his game develop. He adds great value to the playing group and is a tough guy to go with it.”

Walker said: “I’m made up to have signed a new deal with the club.

“It’s been a really enjoyable last three years. There’s been plenty of ups and downs but now I’m looking forward to the next 12 months of hopefully plenty more ups.”
