Leeming, who played an influential role in Wigan’s winning unprecedented quadruple in his first season with the club in 2024, was a special guest at the Las Vegas Grand Prix Formula 1 alongside Warrington and England winger Ashton.

Wigan and Warrington will become the first teams to play a Super League fixture in the United States, having famously played a friendly at Milwaukee’s County Stadium 35 years ago in front of 17,000 supporters, which the Cherry and Whites won 12-5.

The Las Vegas fixture will mark Wigan’s Round 3 home game in 2025, and will take place on Saturday, March 1, kicking off at 1:30pm local time and 9:30pm in the UK, live on Sky Sports.

The pair also visited the 65,000-capacity Allegiant Stadium, home to NFL side Las Vegas Raiders as they took on Denver Broncos.
