Wigan Warriors Land Oliver Partington from Dragons

Wigan Warriors have announced a significant player exchange with Catalans Dragons, securing the permanent return of Oliver Partington. The prop forward, who previously came through Wigan's youth system, has signed a five-year contract with his boyhood club. Partington is set to join the Warriors' pre-season training camp in Tenerife next week, expressing his excitement to represent Wigan again.

In the reciprocal arrangement, Kruise Leeming will move to Catalans Dragons on a one-year loan. Leeming, a key member of Wigan's quadruple-winning team in 2024, has ambitions to make a significant impact in France. He stated his belief in the Dragons' potential and his eagerness to contribute to their success.

Partington’s return marks a homecoming for the 27-year-old, who played 91 games for Wigan before moving to Salford and then Catalans. He was part of Wigan's 2020 League Leaders Shield-winning side. Leeming's move to the Dragons offers him a new opportunity to compete in a different environment.
