According to Rugby League Live, he is with the Leopards on a train and trial deal, but will be looking to earn a permanent contract ahead of the 2023 Super League season.

Hanley, who is the son of Wigan legend Ellery, made his senior debut for the Warriors against St Helens back in 2020.

Game time in the first team has been limited for the fullback throughout the last 12 months, but picked up minutes in the Championship with Newcastle Thunder and in the Grand Final winning reserves side.

His final match for the Wigan senior team was in the defeat to Hull KR at Craven Park back in August.
