Grand Final winner Toby King receives starting number back at parent club

King, 27, made 31 appearances under head coach Matt Peet, scoring 12 tries and has received shirt number three back at the Halliwell Jones Stadium for the 2024 campaign - having donned the same number with Wigan.

He had been linked with another move from the Wolves to St Helens, before reports quashed the rumours.

His impressive performances in cherry and white saw him earn his first England call-up for the mid-season fixture against France, having previously represented Ireland on the international stage.

He also featured in the end-of-season series against Tonga, before suffering an injury that forced him to miss the final clash in Leeds.

Meanwhile, Wigan academy product Matty Nicholson has been promoted to shirt number 13 – starting loose forward – with Josh McGuire having been released midway through last season following his second lengthy suspension.
