Excitement Fills the Air as Three Key Wigan Warriors Stars Sign Contract Extension.
Wigan Warriors Secure Star Trio as Bevan French, Liam Marshall, and Liam Farrell Sign New Deals Until 2027
Wigan Warriors have received a major boost ahead of the business end of the Betfred Super League season, with the club confirming that three of their most influential players — Bevan French, Liam Marshall, and Liam Farrell — have all committed their futures to the Cherry and Whites by signing new contract extensions that will keep them at the DW Stadium until at least the end of the 2027 season.
This triple re-signing marks a statement of intent from the reigning Super League champions, who continue to build a formidable squad centered around talent, loyalty, and consistency. The news has been welcomed by Wigan supporters and rugby league followers across the UK, as French, Marshall, and Farrell have each played instrumental roles in Wigan’s recent domestic and international successes.
Bevan French, the electric Australian fullback and fan favourite, has been a revelation since arriving at the club in 2019. Known for his blistering pace, sharp footwork, and try-scoring prowess, French has become one of the most feared attacking players in the Super League. His ability to turn games on their head with a single moment of brilliance has seen him earn accolades including the 2023 Harry Sunderland Trophy and a spot in the Super League Dream Team. By extending his contract, French sends a clear message that he remains deeply committed to the Wigan cause, despite reported interest from both NRL clubs and rugby union outfits.
Homegrown winger Liam Marshall, another cornerstone of Wigan’s recent campaigns, has also pledged his long-term loyalty to his boyhood club. A consistent try-scorer and a menace for opposing defences, Marshall has developed into a world-class finisher who combines pace, precision, and positional awareness. Having risen through the Wigan academy, his journey from a promising youngster to a first-team stalwart is a testament to the Warriors’ strong development system. The new contract will see him continue to don the famous cherry and white jersey through his prime years, much to the delight of the club’s passionate fanbase.
Adding further weight to this announcement is the inclusion of club captain Liam Farrell, one of the most respected and accomplished forwards in the modern game. With over a decade of service to Wigan, Farrell has been the heartbeat of the team through triumphs and challenges. A tireless workhorse with exceptional leadership qualities, he led Wigan to Grand Final glory in 2023 and a memorable World Club Challenge victory over the Penrith Panthers in 2024. Farrell’s decision to sign an extension not only strengthens Wigan’s leadership group but also ensures that the next generation of Warriors can continue learning from a model professional.
Speaking about the triple contract news, Wigan’s head coach Matt Peet expressed immense satisfaction, praising the players’ commitment to the club’s vision and values. “This is a monumental day for Wigan Warriors,” Peet said. “To retain three players of such quality and character is a reflection of where we are as a club. Bevan, Liam Marshall, and Liam Farrell are not just outstanding rugby league players — they are ambassadors for everything we stand for at Wigan. They drive standards every day and make those around them better. We are building for sustained success, and these extensions are vital to that journey.”
The news also drew praise from Wigan CEO Kris Radlinski, who emphasized the importance of stability and culture in long-term success. “Keeping these players sends a strong message that we are serious about winning now and in the future. Each of them could have explored other opportunities, but they chose Wigan. That speaks volumes.”
Supporters have taken to social media in celebration, with many hailing the announcement as one of the most positive in recent club history. The extensions all but guarantee that Wigan’s core will remain intact for the foreseeable future, providing continuity, leadership, and class as they aim to add more silverware to the club’s rich legacy.
With Bevan French, Liam Marshall, and Liam Farrell now locked in until 2027, the Wigan Warriors have laid a strong foundation to pursue further glory in both domestic and international competition. The message is clear: Wigan are here to stay at the top — and their stars are staying with them.
