RICHIE Myler departs Wolves believing good times will return for the club next year.

The 25-year-old scrum half bows out after a disappointing 2015 for The Wire and says he wishes he could have helped the club to win more trophies since his arrival in late 2009.

Myler, who is set to team up in the halves with Todd Carney at Catalans Dragons next season, won the League Leaders’ Shield and Challenge Cup in primrose and blue as well as appearing in two Grand Finals but Thursday’s impressive win at St Helens concluded a third successive season without silverware.

“We showed over the last two weeks (including the Catalans win at home) how we’ve wanted to play all year and that once we click we’re a good side," said Myler.

“If the team can string that together more consistently they’ll be up there challenging next year. This season across the board we’ve had hit and miss games in a league that’s so competitive and you can’t do that.”

Myler joins skipper Joel Monaghan, Chris Bridge, Roy Asotasi, Gareth O’Brien and Simon Grix as exiting players, while Kurt Gidley, Tom Lineham, Jack Hughes, Mitchell Dodds and Benjamin Jullien are signed along with a new conditioning chief in former Wolves hooker Jon Clarke.

“I’ll certainly miss a lot about the place,” said the six-cap England international.

“You always want to leave when the club’s going in the right direction and I think it is.

“I think the backroom stuff is getting on the right track and they can build a strong performance for the start of next season.

“They have some good recruits coming in and I think Wolves will hit the ground running. It’ll be exciting times for Warrington.”

The Widnesian said it has been a privilege to represent the club.

“I think 2012 was my favourite year," he added. "I managed to play at Wembley which was an amazing experience, and there was a trip to Old Trafford when we narrowly got beat by Leeds in the Grand Final.

“I would have liked to have picked up a bit more silverware but I’ve been fortunate to play in the cup final, two Grand Finals and been League Leaders. We’ve always been up there competing. I’ve been fortunate to play with six different groups of lads that have all been amazing.

“Everyone – the fans and the club – have been so kind to me and stuck with me through some good and bad times. I’ve loved every minute, I’ll have some friends and memories for life and Warrington will hold a place in my heart for the rest of my career and life.”

And he moves on a better player than the one that arrived from Salford as the game’s most expensive teenage signing.

“Rugby’s all about learning and developing. You’re always developing and I’ve been fortunate to work with Smithy (head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith) for six years, and he’s brought my game on from where it was to where it is now.

“Hopefully I can kick on with my career and get the best out of me in the south of France – and not do too badly when I play against Warrington.”

So now he is excited about a move to Perpignan with television presenter wife Helen Skelton-Myler and three-month-old son Ernie.

“We are going to try a whole new lifestyle,” he said. “Helen will come back and to with work, while the little fella will live on a beach for two years or so.

“I think the grandparents have already booked their schedules for when they’re coming out to visit. It’s going to be exciting.”

Having former teammates Michael Monaghan (Catalans assistant coach) and Louis Anderson (prop) already over there will aid him to settle in at the Stade Gilbert Brutus.

“Michael was a big pull for me,” said Myler, who revealed he has been having French language tuition in preparation.

“Him being out there will help me settle in and get used to the place.

“Louis is there as well. He’s a great bloke and I loved my time when he was with Warrington.”

And striking up a partnership in the halves with Australian Carney was another draw.

“He’s a great player and they’ve built a nice squad. Their recruits coming in are quality players. We’ll look forward to all of this next year.”
