Back-rower George Hirst, 23, has signed a two-year deal with Wigan from Oldham, although is expected to return to the Championship outfit for the 2025 campaign on loan.
Experienced prop Mike Cooper retired towards the end of 2024 on medical advice, while Ryan Hampshire remains a free agent after his confirmed departure from the club.
Veteran Willie Isa signed a one-year extension for 2025, which will take him into his 10th season with the club. Following a season-ending injury in April, he will add further options to the club next year, although young superstar Junior Nsemba looks certain to start after an outstanding breakthrough campaign.
Here is our predicted Wigan Warriors 17 for 2025.
