Speaking about the players, Head Coach Brian Noble said, "I am pleased that we have secured the futures of these young athletes. They all played their part in the Senior Academy team in 2007 which finished top of the table losing only one game in the regular season. "It shows that the Club continues to look towards the future. Wigan has a great history of producing talented young players and these six are further proof of the quality youth development structures that are in place. "A huge benefit for these youngsters in becoming full-time professionals is training alongside the first team squad, gaining invaluable experience from being around the likes of Sean O'Loughlin, Richard Mathers, Trent Barrett, Pat Richards and Phil Bailey."
