He is yet to make his senior debut, but featured from the interchange bench in the club’s reserves 24-0 Grand Final win over St Helens last year at Robin Park Arena.

Head coach Coleman believes the rising youngster has the ‘hunger’ to make it in the game and arrives at the Vikings to bolster their forward pack options following injuries within their camp.

“It’s great to get Harvey on loan with us, he’s a player I have been watching over the last 12 months and his progress has been excellent, being rewarded a full-time contract with Wigan,” Coleman said.

“He will bring us lots of energy, and passion and is a player who plays well above his size.

“He has got the hunger to make it in the game and that is something I am keen on bringing to Widnes.”
