Chief Radlinski has hailed Miski, revealing he believed the winger was destined for success in cherry and white following his move from London Broncos ahead of 2022.
He said: "Abbas is an incredibly popular member of the team. Unassuming, hard working and a great team-mate.
“I remember the press release when we signed him and I had a hunch that he would become a cult hero at the club and that has proven to be the case. Wigan fans want players who give everything for the shirt and Abbas falls into that category.“
