Warrington Wolves players enter final month of contracts

[josie andrews]

AS October prepares to turn to November, contracts for some rugby league players are nearing their end.

For Warrington Wolves, there are five first-team players whose futures are officially yet to be resolved with their current deals expiring at the end of November.

Ben Currie, Jason Clark, Matt Davis, Declan Patton and Eribe Doro are all due to be off-contract in the coming weeks, with the club yet to confirm whether or not new deals have been – or will be – signed.

Until last week, Ellis Robson was among that number and it was thought he would be moving on to join newly-formed League One side Ottawa Aces for 2021, but he has now penned a new two-year contract with The Wire.

Ben Murdoch-Masila is also out of contract but he is already confirmed to be leaving the club to join NRL side New Zealand Warriors from 2021.

At the start of 2020, Stefan Ratchford and Mike Cooper were both entering the final year of their deals but have since signed fresh terms.

If the season goes long due to this new lockdown, clubs may not be able to turn out sides due to a lack of contracted players!
