Jack Wells and Ben Kilner have joined Toronto Wolfpack on a one-month loan with immediate effect.

Prop Kilner and back-rower Wells head to Brian McDermott’s side with immediate effect. Wells has made 13 appearances for the Warriors since his debut in 2016 and he spent last season on-loan with the Warriors’ dual-reg partners, Swinton Lions, as he battled back from a major foot injury.

Warriors executive director Kris Radlinski said: “Both Ben and Jack have impressed us during the off-season with their efforts and application.

"This opportunity has presented itself for them both to experience Super League rugby and get some much needed game-time, which we believe will beneficial for all parties concerned. They’re two promising forwards, who will benefit from time on the pitch and under Brian McDermott they have a great coach to work under.”

Wigan also have Romain Navarette on loan at Wakefield for the season while Josh Woods and Craig Mullen are at Leigh.
