In what was a busy weekend for Wigan Warriors, one of the breaking stories was the announcement of another new signing for 2024.

Fans react to Keighran signing

Wigan have added Catalans Dragons’ Adam Keighran to their squad for the 2024 campaign.

Supporters have taken to social media to react to the news.

One wrote: “Happy about this. Welcome to the team. All the best.”

Another added: “A great signing by the Warriors. A top class centre and goal kicker. I would have liked it to be a long-term contract, around five years, but you never know, after one year he might get offered a new one.”

A third stated: “Recruitment for next season is looking good. I believe I’ll be renewing my season ticket.”
