Sam Burgess calls on the future of Warrington Wolves

He had spoken to the Warrington Wolves boss The Daily Telegraph and in that interview, when quizzed about any possibility of an NRL return, he revealed that there had been discussions about extending his two-year contract.

Sam Burgess explained: “It’s important to spend time here. I’m only nine months into my coaching career. There is talk of adding another year at this point.”

According to Heppenstall, those talks have progressed to the point where a new deal has been agreed with Burgess who is said to be spending his third year at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, extending his stay until the end of the 2026 season.
