The club would do very well to get him to re-sign for us.
He was indeed and played Wigan and Wire off against each other to get the best deal. Lenagan eventually told him to make his mind up as that was Wigans last offer. Wire went higher so he took the deal and I believe there were a few extras (car and driving lessons).
IIRC he was in the year just before Williams, Hampshire, Burgess and Sutton.
His agency is "show me the money"!!! just google it.
