After reading of Luke Gale (Harlequins)making the smooth transition to Super League and scoring two tries v Warrington, got me thinking who was the last player Wigan signed from National League 2 ?

Does Wigan have a scout out at those games ?

You know I've always been a dreamer

ANCIENT & LOYAL UPON MY CHEST

Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may

jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may

when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan

in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may

in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may

Correct.

In fairness to Ian Millward :shock:

Jordan James is now playing super league for Celtic Crusaders. At least he is still in super league.
