Warrington duo Connor Wrench and Ellis Longstaff have joined Championship side Newcastle Thunder on loan. 

Wrench, 23, started the Wolves’ opening weekend defeat to Castleford but has failed to feature since, while 18-year-old Longstaff is yet to appear for Steve Price’s side this year, having made his debut in 2020.

Newcastle, managed by former Widnes forward Eamon O’Carroll, sit 10th in the Championship after starting the season with a win, draw and two defeats from their opening four league games.

Both players have agreed initial two-week deals and are available to make their debuts against London this weekend.
