“Never in a million years did I think I’d be back,” said Richards, who spent eight seasons with Wigan.

“It’s an honour to wear the Wests Tigers jersey again and I’m looking forward to the experience.

“I played in 2014 and 2015 in Auckland it was awesome. The fans get into it and it’s a carnival atmosphere.

“It’s nice to be around the club and to jump into this is going to be great.”
