George Williams' first words after completing Warrington Wolves move

George Williams has spoken of his excitement to link up with Warrington's world class talent after completing his move to the club.

The England halfback has finally completed a move to the Wire, joining the club on a three-and-a-half-year deal after securing a release from Canberra Raiders.

Williams turned down interest from boyhood club Wigan to make the move to the Wire, a major coup for the Wolves as they continue to search for their first-ever Super League title.

He will make his debut in the coming weeks and in discussing the move, he said: "I’m really excited to have signed for Warrington.

“It’s a club that I’ve had plenty of tough games against in the past and The Halliwell Jones Stadium is a ground that I’ve really enjoyed playing at.

“The boys here at the club that I know from England camps spoke really highly of the organisation and the culture here. There’s some world class talent and some real experience in this group.

“I’m really proud that I stepped out of my comfort zone to go out and test myself in the NRL and I like to think it’s helped me develop my game in the last 18 months which I’m hoping to showcase now here at Warrington.

“The team has been building nicely this season and I’m just keen and excited now to come in and get started.”
