Wigan Warriors Announces Departure Of Six Player….
Wigan Warriors have officially confirmed the departure of six players ahead of the 2025 Super League season, marking a significant reshuffle as the club looks to refresh its squad for the challenges ahead.
Among the most notable exits is Morgan Smithies, who leaves the DW Stadium to join NRL side Canberra Raiders on a three-year deal. The England international departs with over 100 appearances and a Super League Grand Final victory to his name.
Mike Cooper and Willie Isa both retire after long and respected careers. Cooper bows out on medical advice, while Isa departs with a cabinet full of winners’ medals and a reputation as one of the club’s most consistent performers.
Ryan Hampshire, a versatile back, also exits after his contract was not renewed. He has since signed with Featherstone Rovers, seeking more regular first-team action.
