Warrington Wolves utility Harvey Livett has signed a two-year contract extension with the Super League club after turning down offers to play in Australia's NRL.

The 21-year-old has made 22 appearance and scored 13 tries, including a hat-trick at Leeds in early May, since making his senior debut in 2017.

"I had a few other options but I'm a Warrington lad and I always wanted to stay with the club," said Livett.

"It means a lot to wear the shirt."

Club chief executive Karl Fitzpatrick said Wolves had to "beat off NRL interest" to keep Livett, who came through the club's academy.
