Jack Hughes signs for 5 years, (3 years plus a club option for a further 2).

Good move, the lad's showing good potential and it's not an overly long deal given the option's in Wigan's favour.

well deserved

good move showing potential and that needs rewarding

Didn't we used to have a centre called George somebody?





It is great to see Jack take his chance. Every problem creates an opportunity.

Great news. Congrats Jack

Well deserved.

The Wigan way!

Well we used to have someone who moved from the back row to playing centre as Hughes has done who also had a five year contract.







It is good to reward young players but given the way contracts work (or rather don't work) take the five years with a pinch of salt. It is a bit disingenuous for the club to be saying we have tied this lad to the club long term given what happened to Joel Tomkins.



Given Hughes seems to have all the attributes to be Joel MkII it will be interesting to see if he progresses along those lines just how "long term" this contract is.

Not IMO even if he is taking his chance well ATM.

How dare you be so positive when amongst DaveO's gloom?!





As you say, the lad's taking his chance and that's all he can do. Ultimately what he's been doing won him this contract, what he does next determines whether the club will exercise the option on the remaining two years. He's the master of his own destiny and while he wants to play for Wigan, I wish him very well.

Although I think Hughes has done his job. Lets not forget we are now down to the bare bones at centre. Gleeson left, then Tomkins left. George is now injured.



I am chuffed he has got a deal to stay at the club, he goes about his work really well. However, I don't think he has the pace or the skill to be a really good centre. Just compare him to Bridge and Atkins at wire.

I like all the leadership qualities attributed to the lad. Smart move. A very promising player. Hopefully he gets a shot in the second row this week against Widnes.
