In been unofficially official for about 6 weeks, hence the Keighran signing

Makes even more sense now Powell has gone as they didn’t have a good relationship

I've seen on twitter that wire fans are asking if King can return THIS season as they are his parent club, especially if the incoming coach wants him!

Not sure how this would work, especially as I always assumed season-long deals were fixed (somehow)

Would they have to pay Wigan a transfer for their own players back?

Surely he would blast them over the salary cap if he retuned this season? Would he want to go is another question?

He doesn’t want to go, he said to me the other week when I asked if he had heard anything further about going back, he said ‘I feel like I’ve been on parole & I have to go back to jail"!!

I'd assume with them being his club they could call him back but you'd hope there'd be a penalty in doing so

There is no call back option for King.

He’s at Wigan til the end of the 1000%
