WARRINGTON Wolves youngster Ben Hartill has been allowed out on loan to gain some first-team experience.

It was confirmed last night that the hooker has joined Championship side Swinton Lions for an initial three-week period.

He will be eligible to make his debut when Swinton welcome Sheffield Eagles to Heywood Road on Sunday.

Hartill was one of the captains of the academy team last year as they reached the Grand Final, scoring a try in the defeat to St Helens.

The former Crosfields junior is yet to make his first-team debut for The Wire but has started all four reserve-team matches this year.
