Joe Philbin made 22 appearances for Warrington last season

Warrington Wolves prop Joe Philbin has signed a new deal to remain with the Super League club until the end of the 2026 season.

The 29-year-old commits his future to the Wire ahead of his testimonial year and having made 196 appearances.

Philbin came through the club's academy and has won the Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield with them.

"I feel at home here and I love playing for this club," he told the club's official website.

"Sam [Burgess] has come in and is another reason it was an easy decision for me to re-sign. I already feel like he's brought my game on leaps and bounds.

"I've been soaking up all of his knowledge and I feel like he'll be really good for my game over these next few years."

Philbin has represented Great Britain, England and Ireland in addition to his domestic efforts with Warrington and will face Leigh in his testimonial on Saturday.

"I'm really excited for this weekend now and it's going to be very special for me to celebrate my testimonial," he added.

"A lot of hard work has gone on during our pre-season. It's been really tough and we're ready now for the challenge against a quality side in Leigh to show where we're at."
