Wigan Warriors forward Sam Walters has signed a new contract with the Super League club until the end of the 2029 season.

Walters moved to Wigan ahead of the 2024 campaign from Leeds Rhinos on a three-year deal and he has since made 28 appearances, including 12 games this season, and scored six tries.

The 24-year-old, who can operate at both prop or in the second row, has now agreed a new four-year deal.

"Sam is very professional and I've loved coaching him and of course I'm delighted that we've got him for a further four years," Wigan head coach Matt Peet said.
