Former South Sydney captain Greg Inglis is set to become the biggest recruit by an English Super League club in more than 15 years after deciding to come out of retirement to join Warrington.
Inglis will ensure added exposure for the game in the northern hemisphere when he joins Toronto Wolfpack star Sonny Bill Williams and Israel Folau in the Super League next season.
Inglis says he is delighted and cannot wait to get over there and meet all the passionate Warrington fans.
The one-year deal is massive for Warrington and the biggest signing by an English club since Andrew Johns enjoyed a three-match cameo with the Wolves at the end of the 2005 season.
Inglis's name was among the five highest trending topics on Twitter in England for at least an hour immediately after his signing was announced.
Inglis will also reunite with former St George Illawarra captain Gareth Widdop after the pair played alongside each other at Melbourne, as well as ex-Rabbitohs teammate Jason Clark for the Steve Price-coached Wolves next season.
The NRL competition resumes next Thursday with the Broncos playing the Eels at 9.50pm.
The Cowboys will be taking on the Titans at 8pm next Friday while the Roosters will be facing the Rabbitohs at 9.55pm on the same night.
Next Saturday, the Warriors will be playing the Dragons at 5pm, the Sharks will take on the Wests Tigers at 7.30pm while Melbourne Storm will play the Raiders at 9.35pm.
The Panthers will take on the Knights at 6.05pm next Sunday while the Sea Eagles will play the Bulldogs at 8.30pm on the same night.
