Liam Marshall and Tom Davies sign new Wigan deals


Young wingers Liam Marshall and Tom Davies have signed new deals to stay with Wigan until 2020.

Both players made their first-team debuts for the injury-hit Warriors in March and have enjoyed bright starts to their careers.

Marshall, 21, has scored 11 tries in 12 matches while Davies, 20, has crossed six times in 10 appearances, with both players scoring Sunday's 42-12 Ladbrokes Challenge Cup win over Swinton.

"I am so pleased that both these young players have committed their immediate futures to Wigan and repaid the loyalty the club has shown to them," said head coach Shaun Wane.

"Liam has a great skill-set and is a very natural player while Tom has shown a desire to succeed that I've only seen in a couple of players during my career.

"Most importantly both players love our club. I'm very happy."

The Warriors have the option of extending the contracts to 2021.

"I'm really happy," said Marshall. "I didn't think we would have these kinds of talks so early on in the year to be honest but I'm delighted it's all sorted."

Davies added: "I'm over the moon to sign this new contract with Wigan.

"It's a dream to make your debut. To get that opportunity and then to stay in the team this season has been great. It's been a real whirlwind of a year."
