WARRINGTON Wolves have signed one young prop and given new deals to two more of the clubs youngsters.
Max Wood, 19, makes the move from local rivals Wigan on a one-year deal, with a club option for a further year, and will wear the number 34 shirt.
Academy graduate Luke Thomas has also agreed a new three-year contract extension until 2026 with a club option for a further year. The 21-year-old Wales international has made six first team appearances since making his debut against Leeds Rhinos in August 2022.
In a further display of faith in youth, Warrington-born 17-year-old centre Arron Lindop has been awarded a four-year first team contract until 2027 with a club option for a further year. Lindop has progressed through our Scholarship and Academy ranks and impressed when integrated into the first team’s pre-season training this winter. He will wear the number 33 this season.
The trio will all feature in next Friday’s pre-season fixture against Widnes Vikings at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, 7.30pm KO.
Warrington Wolves Head Coach Sam Burgess said: “We’ve been able to add Max [Wood] to our squad for 2024. His attitude since joining us in pre-season has been up to our standard and he’s a valued addition to our pack.
“Thommo [Luke Thomas] is another great player with a great attitude and has lots more growth in him. Securing him on a long-term contract is fantastic for our club.
“Arron [Lindop] is a promising young player from our own Academy system. We value what he brings and look forward to seeing his progression over the next few years.”
