England star George Williams signs new long-term contract with Warrington Wolves

England half-back George Williams has signed a new long-term contract with Betfred Super League side Warrington Wolves.

Williams has been instrumental in the club’s red-hot start to the season which has seen Daryl Powell's side win all eight games in the league so far.

The 28-year-old has signed a new long-term deal until November 2026, which will take his time at the Halliwell Jones Stadium to five-and-a-half years.

The half-back has made 39 appearances so far for the club, scoring 14 tries. He currently leads the competition for try assists and carries, and is the joint leader alongside Wire teammate Paul Vaughan for metres made on 1,566.

He is also top of the Man of Steel leaderboard after the opening eight rounds.

George Williams said: “I’m really happy to nail my future down. We’ve got a great group here and I’m excited for what’s to come.

“How we’ve started the year has been unbelievable and there’s a lot more behind that – the environment and culture we’ve all created. It’s enjoyable to come to work everyday, everyone’s got a smile on their face and I’m happy that I’m staying.

“As a half-back you’re probably hitting your prime years at my age or maybe even a bit older when your experience and understanding of the game is better. Hopefully my best years are ahead of me, we can keep winning and doing my bit for the team.”

Head Coach Daryl Powell added: “George has been outstanding as a player and leader since I have been at the club.

“I think this re-signing is a significant one for not only our club but the game in this country. He is an international player in his prime who I think will continue to get better and be a driving force both at the Wolves and on the international stage.”
