Wigan Warriors centre Adam Keighran has signed a new contract to remain with the club until 2028 while hooker Tom Forber has agreed a four-year deal to 2029.

Keighran, 27, joined Wigan before the 2024 campaign and helped the club win the World Club Challenge, League Leaders' Shield and Super League Grand Final in his first season, only missing out on the Challenge Cup final due to suspension.

The Australian has made 45 appearances for the Cherry and Whites, scoring 15 tries as well as 147 goals.

"I am so grateful to sign on for a further three seasons at such a great club," Keighran said.

"It was never a tough decision to sign with Wigan, so I'm grateful to the club for allowing me to take the needed time to have the conversations with my family on the decision to stay in England."

Forber, 21, has played in 17 Super League and Challenge Cup games for the club and has scored two tries.

He made six appearances this term, with most of his experience coming last season when he deputised following an injury to Brad O'Neill.

"I'm really excited to have re-signed with the club", Forber said. "I feel like I've been lucky enough to play in some big games so far in my career including last year's Grand Final.

"I'm hungry to keep developing my game and improving to hopefully have the opportunity to play in a lot more over the next five years."
