The towering back-rower made his return to the field with a try in the reserves 44-0 victory over Hull KR at Robin Park, but Peet insists the timing must be right to introduce the 23-year-old back into first-team action for his Wigan debut.

Wigan and Huddersfield meet for Super League Round 11 on Saturday May 11, 3pm K.O.

Wigan 21-man squad: Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, French, Smith, Havard, O’Neill, Byrne, Farrell, Ellis, Cooper, Mago, Thompson, Leeming, Dupree, Hill, Nsemba, Walters, Eckersley.
