Reflecting on why he has chosen to extend his stay in England, Price was keen to look to the future.

"It’s a fantastic club with great people involved, so I wasn’t going anywhere," he said.

"I came here for a reason, to get that silverware.

“I love being part of Warrington and my wife and kids are happy and settled here.

"I honestly feel we can make a difference with the strength of our playing group and I’m really looking forward to 2019.

"We are building strong relationships with the town’s community clubs and I can see young Warrington kids playing a big part in this club’s future in the years to come."

In securing Price's services for the next three years, Wire chief executive Karl Fitzpatrick says they have tied down one of the game's best young coaches.

He also hailed Price's "exceptional work ethic and professionalism."

"We are delighted to have extended Steve’s contract by a further two years," he said.

"The progression the team has made under his leadership has been fantastic. Making two major finals in his first season was a positive step.

"However, I know how driven he is to go one step further in 2019 and deliver silverware for this club and its fans.

"His work ethic and professionalism are exceptional, making him one of the best young coaches in the game.

"We’re fortunate he’s giving us his commitment for at least another three years.”
