England internationals Richie Myler and Ryan Atkins are among five Warrington players to agree contract extensions with the Wolves.
Ex-Salford City Reds scrum-half Myler, 21, and former Wakefield Trinity Wildcats centre Atkins, who both joined the club two years ago, have signed two-year extensions which will keep them at the Halliwell Jones Stadium until the end of 2015.
Utility player Simon Grix, 26, will also be at Warrington for another four years after signing a three-year extension, which will enable him to complete a decade at the club.
Welsh international winger Rhys Williams, 21, who was out of contract, has signed a new 12-month deal, and centre Matty Blythe, 22, has committed himself to the club until the end of 2014.
Warrington head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith said: "I'm delighted to re-sign five young British players who have had tremendous seasons and who are looking to keep on improving.
"It shows their commitment and the direction that the club is heading in as well as their desire for success, which suits the ambition of our club."

Interview with Head Coach Nathan Brown
BROWN INSISTS GIANTS ARE READY FOR TOP OF THE TABLE CLASHHead Coach Nathan Brown speaks to giantsrl.com ahead of top of the table clash.
Brown admitted that this week's team selection had caused him a few headaches leading into the clash against Tony Smith's side;
"There will be some unlucky guys who miss out on selection. Myself and the coaching staff have had some tough calls to make - probably some of the toughest since I've been at the club. The reality is that some players won't get picked and it will be a little hard on them.
"In a lot of ways some guys who miss out may deserve to get picked on the back of the stuff they have been doing but it may be that another player brings something a little different to the table. It's not always the individuals fault as their work on the training field may be good and their form may be solid. You can only play with seventeen and you've got to pick the players that you think are best suited to helping you try and beat Warrington."
The Giants have managed to emerge victorious from the last two meetings with the Wolves, eliminating them from the 2010 Super League play-offs and also gaining a 28-18 win over the men from the Halliwell Jones Stadium in the Round 1 clash at the Millennium Stadium.
Brown insists the claret and gold will enter the game in a confident frame of mind;
"The last two times we have faced Warrington we've managed to get the win, which is good for us as a club because they are obviously a very good team. Prior to those two games, they probably had the wood on us a little bit and had beaten us a few more times than we had beaten them in my time here.
"The fact we've managed to get those two wins definitely gives us some confidence going into this game and we know that if we play well, then we've got a good chance. They're obviously one of the form teams of the competition, that's why they're sitting at the top of the table and their game recently against Wigan was a beauty of a match.
"From our point of view, if we put the right kind of performance in on the night and then we'll give ourselves a good shot. Both sides know what each other's strengths are and it's just a matter of who's the best on the day."
Interview with Scott & Simon Grix
GRIX BROTHERS READY FOR BATTLEAn intriguing sub-plot to the top of the table clash awaits on Friday as brothers Scott and Simon Grix face off.
Giants full-back Scott and Warrington back-row Simon have already faced each other on the opening day of the season as the claret and gold managed to defeat the Wolves 28-18.
The brothers are looking forward to the confrontation once more as Scott explained;
"It was nice to get a win over Simon in the Round 1 game as last time we played against each other, Warrington beat us comfortably. Unfortunately Simon picked up an injury during the game in Cardiff and I wasn't able to get near him.
"We are expecting a high intensity game on Friday as it is a top of the table clash, I think they will be ready to get one back on us especially after coming off a defeat against Catalan at the weekend.
"Warrington are a team full of key players and you have to be on your game for a full eighty minutes or risk being dominated, it is another game where we have to go out there do our job and hopefully we will get the result."
Simon gave his thoughts about the upcoming clash;
"Unfortunately I can't tell you all that much about playing Scott and Huddersfield at Cardiff as I picked up an injury after ten minutes and was brought off, which was a massive disappointment.
"Aside from the blips and defeats at the hands of the Giants and the Catalan's last week we have had a good start to the season and hopefully we can continue this and get back on track on Friday. I am expecting a similar game to the one we experienced in Cardiff and I am hoping we play well when we get the chance.
"The acquisitions of Joel Monaghan and Brett Hodgson have been great for us. 'Hodgo' is a good player and a consistent kicker which adds another string to our bow."
Scott also admitted that the brother's parents may well be hoping for a draw!
"Our parents will be sat on the fence wishing that we both do well, a draw for them may be the best result with us both playing well and scoring. I think mum will be nervous! They have been in this situation a few times now, as long as we play well and come through the game unscathed then they will be happy."
Interview with Luke O'Donnell
O'DONNELL REFRESHED AND RARING TO GOGiants star Luke O'Donnell is confident a week away from action has left him in great shape ahead of Friday night's clash with Warrington.
The Aussie powerhouse was one of a number of players rested by Coach Nathan Brown for the win over Wakefield last time out.
"It was good to get a break," admitted the back-rower.
"It was perhaps just as good mentally as it was physically and I am pretty keen for this week now. I'm looking forward to playing Warrington - I'm sure there will be a big crowd which will make for a good atmosphere and I'm sure it will be a good spectacle."
It was little more than two months ago when the sides last met at Cardiff in the season opener, a clash which saw the Giants emerge victorious.
The power and physicality shown by the claret and gold pack that day is something that O'Donnell knows that he and his team mates will need to replicate to mirror the same result this week.
"I think it was one of those games that could have gone either way," said the 30-year-old.
"It was a tough battle in the forwards and they really offered up a lot in attack so we had to really work hard in defence and we were able to keep them out for long enough and in the end that probably got us the win.
"All players look forward to playing against the top sides and Warrington certainly are one of those, if not the best on form at the moment. They've got a lot of international experience there and they've got a big strong pack so I think it is going to be a good challenge for us."
O'Donnell has been showing some impressive form in recent weeks which is an indication that he has fully adapted to life in England.
He is hoping to continue his form in the coming weeks, as well as enjoying the improvement in the British weather.
"I finally feel like I'm hitting some decent form which is good because I like to be a consistent player and hopefully I will be able to continue in this way week in week out.
"It was freezing when I first arrived; I think it was minus 13 around here or something like that! That was a bit of a shock to the system but it's been beautiful lately, I've even had the shirt off for a couple of days!"
