Warrington Wolves have become the first Super League club to announce their squad numbers for the 2025 campaign.
Warrington-born half-back Leon Hayes has been given the No. 7 shirt which was vacated by Josh Drinkwater following his departure from the Halliwell Jones Stadium following the conclusion of the 2024 campaign.
Hayes, 20, made 10 appearances for Sam Burgess’ side last season before suffering a season-ending injury.
Meanwhile, new signing Oli Leyland, who has arrived on a two-year contract from relegated Super League outfit London Broncos, will wear the number 18 following his move up north.

Elsewhere, Papua New Guinea international Dan Russell has been given the number 26 after signing a two-year deal with the Wire, whilst rugby union convert Alfie Johnson will wear 31, with the 23-year-old having also joined on a two-year deal.
Australian forward Luke Yates, who arrived mid-season from Huddersfield Giants, has become Warrington’s new No. 13, with Papua New Guinea international Rodrick Tai (4) and experienced hooker Sam Powell (14) also switching numbers ahead of the new campaign.
Warrington captain Stefan Ratchford has reverted back to the number 19 jersey – the first number he wore when he joined the club back from Salford Red Devils back in 2012.
There will be 33 members in Burgess’ first-team squad in 2025, with the Wolves having now seemingly confirmed that their recruitment and retention is all but complete heading into next year.
