SKIPPER Stefan Ratchford has signed a new 12-month contract extension with Warrington Wolves.
The new deal will take Ratchford’s time at the Wire to 14 seasons having joined back in 2012.
The versatile back has made 339 appearances for the club to date, scoring 91 tries, kicking 636 goals and scoring 1638 points. The prolific goal-kicker is currently sixth on the list of the club’s all-time goal-kicking and points scoring charts.
Ratchford, who was granted a testimonial in the 2022 season, broke the Super League record and equalled the world record earlier this season for the most consecutive converted kicks at goal with 41.
Ratchford will continue to be proudly sponsored by Level Up Warrington.
commenting on his new deal wi the Wolves, Ratchford said: “I’m really happy to have signed an extension and there’s no other place I’d rather be.
“Staying with the club for what will now be 14 years is something I never imagined when I first signed, and it means a great deal to me.
Ratchford added: “It’s been great working alongside Sam [Burgess] this year and I feel we’re building something special with this group which I want to be a part of. I feel I’ve still got something to offer on the field and helping others to develop their game too.
“Hopefully we can have a successful end to the season, as well as next year, and we’ll see where things stand in another 12 months time.”
Warrington Wolves Head Coach Sam Burgess added: “We’re thrilled to have secured Stef for another 12 months. He’s the ultimate professional, a club legend and a strong voice around the group.
“His versatility and willingness to do whatever the team requires, combined with his extensive experience, makes him a really valued player in our squad.”
