Off-contract Wigan Warriors forward Tiaki Chan makes season-long loan move
Tiaki Chan’s time at Wigan Warriors appears to be coming to an end, with the off-contract forward having joined Toulouse Olympique on a season-long loan deal.
The 25-year-old recently spent a month with his former club Catalans Dragons, making five appearances for Joel Tomkins’ side, and Chan will now return to France to join Toulouse.
"We’re pleased for Tiaki to continue to get to play at Super League level, as he has shown in recent weeks that he is more than capable,” said Wigan coach Matt Peet.
In Toulouse’s press release, the club confirmed that the loan agreement includes no recall option from Chan’s parent club.
The France international is off-contract with Wigan at the end of this season, having joined the Warriors ahead of the 2024 campaign from Catalans on a three-year deal.
Chan has made just three senior appearances for Wigan – all in his maiden season in 2024 – with his future in cherry and white seemingly set to come to an end when his contract expires later this year.
Chan, who is the son of former New Zealand international Alex, came through the ranks at Catalans and previously represented Toulouse on loan while they were in the Championship in 2023.
During his time with Wigan, Chan had a loan spell with Hull FC in 2024 and spent the majority of the 2025 campaign on loan at Salford.
The Australia-born forward will now spend the rest of this year with Sylvain Houles’ Toulouse side in the south of France.
"I’m delighted to be back in Toulouse,” said Chan. “It’s a club I really appreciate.
"I was at the club in 2023 for a few matches, and I have nothing but good memories. I can’t wait to pull on the Toulouse jersey again and earn my place in the team.”
Chan has 65 senior career appearances to his name, including four caps for France, and Houles is pleased with his side’s signing of Chan.
"We’re delighted to welcome Tiaki back after his spell at the club in 2023,” said Houles.
"He’s a player we rate highly and who will bring impact on the pitch. He plays hard, he’s explosive, and he’s a competitor, so he’ll be the perfect addition to our squad.”
