WARRINGTON Wolves forward Dom Crosby and his wife Megan have welcomed their new son to the world.

Oscar Samuel Crosby was born on Saturday, weighing 7lbs 7ozs.

The 27-year-old former Wigan front rower, who has been absent from the first team with an ankle injury, said in the couple's birth announcement on Instagram: "I feel truly blessed to have this beautiful boy in my life."

Crosby said Oscar is an 'absolute cracker' and he made references to the baby daughter, Ada, they lost in tragic circumstances last year.

"Absolute cracker. First stop to see his sister," he said.

"@megancrosby11 has been my rock over the last year or so and she was absolutely brilliant with everything. Tough as they come."
