Australian utility forward Jason Clark, who recently signed a contract extension with Warrington, has been given the number 14 shirt by new coach Daryl Powell.

The 32-year-old has signed a deal that will take him into his fourth season with the Wolves in 2022. He has made 66 appearances in primrose and blue so far.

Clark said: “I’m delighted to be staying with Warrington and in Super League for another 12 months.

“It’s an exciting time for the club with the new coaching set-up coming in. I’m looking forward to being a part of what should be a big year ahead.

“My family are all settled here in Warrington and we love the town. The club have been first class since the day I arrived. It’s an honour to play in front of the Wire fans each week.

“You realise how much you miss fans, since they have returned. I can’t wait now to get going with preparations for 2022.”
