Wigan Warriors confirm capture of three stars for 2022

Wigan Warriors have confirmed the signings of Patrick Mago, Kaide Ellis and Abbas Miski.

The trio have all put pen to paper on two-year deals, with the option of a third year.

Miski, a Lebanese international, joins from London Broncos after impressing on the wing for the Championship side. Mago has agreed to leave the NRL outfit South Sydney Rabbitohs to join the Warriors while Kaide Ellis has parted ways with St George to make the trip to Super League.

Miski, 25, has scored 12 tries in 13 games for the Broncos so far this season.

Mago has played 34 NRL games, including eight this year, while Ellis, 24, has played 22 times down under.

It's the start of a lively recruitment drive expected at the DW Stadium ahead of the 2022 season.

Executive director, Kris Radlinski, said: “Abbas has been a shining light in the Championship for London this year. With the retirement of Dom Manfredi at the end of the season, we needed a player who possess similar qualities. He has a crowd favourite written all over him. Fans will warm to his game, his personality and commitment to the Club. It was so refreshing meeting such a humble guy who wants to be the best he can be.

“Kaide and Patrick will boost our young pack of forwards. At ages 24 and 26 respectively, both are big mobile athletes who are the perfect build for modern day Rugby League. Having spoken to many people in Australia and having met the guys virtually, I was immediately drawn by their desire to come and make an impact in Super League.

“These are three strong Rugby League players who will strengthen our squad next season.”
