GARETH Widdop has been named as Warrington Wolves' player of the year for 2021.
The club's award winners were announced over social media last night, with the scrum-half picking up the main prize after a stand-out year.
Widdop's form in his second year at The Halliwell Jones Stadium saw him nominated for the Steve Prescott Man of Steel award, which eventually went to Catalans full-back Sam Tomkins.
