Jake Shorrocks leaves Wigan

Correspondent

Wigan have confirmed that half-back Jake Shorrocks has left the club.

The 25-year-old has made 28 appearances for the Warriors since making his first team debut in 2015. He has also enjoyed spells on loan at Workington, Swinton and Salford.

Wigan have also announced the departure of young half-back Josh Woods, who has signed a two-year deal with Championship club Newcastle.

Warriors executive director, Kris Radlinski, said: “Due to the lack of reserve grade, we had to pursue opportunities elsewhere as both players need to be playing rugby league.

“Jake and Josh are model professionals and everyone at Wigan Warriors would like to thank them both for their efforts at the club. We wish them well in the next stage of their careers.”
