Wigan Warriors tie down powerhouse prop to new contract: ‘I’m really happy to be staying’
Wigan Warriors have tied down off-contract prop Patrick Mago to a new two-year deal, with the option for a further year in the club’s favour.
The Samoan powerhouse has made 70 appearances since arriving at the Warriors ahead of the 2022 campaign.
Mago has a Challenge Cup, League Leaders’ Shield, Super League Grand Final and a World Club Challenge to his name during his time with Wigan.
The 29-year-old’s contract with the Warriors was due to expire at the end of the season, but he will now remain a Wigan player until at least the end of 2026, with the club having an option for 2027.
On his new deal, Mago said: “I’m really happy to be staying at Wigan for at least another two years after this year. I’m really settled here with my family.
“We have an incredible group of players and we’re building something special, and I’m over the moon to be part of that.
“I’m grateful for the support I continue to receive from my mum, my dad, my partner and my whole family. I hope to continue to make everyone proud. I’d also like to thank Kris (Radlinski), Matt (Peet), Tommy (Leuluai) and Lockers (Sean O’Loughlin) for their support.”
