Wigan forward Ellis agrees new four-year contract

Kaide Ellis has won seven trophies with Wigan Warriors since moving from the NRL

Kaide Ellis has signed a new contract to stay with Wigan Warriors until the end of the 2029 season.

The Australian forward joined Wigan from NRL club St George Illawarra Dragons for the 2022 Super League season.

The 28-year-old has made 88 appearances for the Warriors and won seven major honours.

"I'm very proud to have extended my time at Wigan," Ellis told the club's website.

"I really feel like it's where I belong. What we've achieved over the past few seasons makes me excited for what's ahead and I feel there is plenty more to come."

Ellis is the latest name to sign a long-term deal to stay at the Brick Community Stadium following the likes of Jai Field, Brad O'Neill and Junior Nsemba.

The player, who operates as either loose forward or prop, has become a key part of the Wigan team that has won Super League in the past two years and completed the quadruple in 2024.

"We love the way he carries himself particularly in the big games and we feel this rubs off on his team-mates," said head coach Matt Peet.

"His performances are a credit to how hard he works and to know he is with us for the next four years is fantastic."
