WARRINGTON Wolves have confirmed the signing of Robbie Mulhern – their third new addition for the 2021 campaign.

He has one cap for England having played against France in 2018 and is also the vice-captain of the England Knights team.
Head coach Steve Price believes his side are getting a player whose prime years are in front of him and is excited for Mulhern to join up with his new teammates for pre-season in the new year.
“I’m excited to welcome Robbie to the club and for him to strengthen and add depth to our forward pack," he said.
“He’s a big lad with good leg speed and at 26 arrives at a really good age with his best years in front of him.
“I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing him grow as a player to fulfil his potential.”
