Wigan scrum-half Harry Smith has signed a new four-year contract, the Betfred Super League club have announced.

The 21-year-old, who has scored six tries in 22 appearances for the Warriors since making his debut in 2019, is now committed to the club until 2024.

Widnes-born Smith said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be signing a new long-term contract with Wigan.

“I’ve been here since the age of 14, working my way through the scholarship and academy system and I can’t wait to see myself and the team continue to grow over the next four years.

“The club leaves nothing to chance and you only have to look at the fantastic facilities we have at Robin Park to realise that. I’ve got a lot of friends here who I came through the Academy system with, so it’s great to be able to continue playing with them.
