Barrow Raiders are delighted to announce a dual-registration partnership with the current World Club Champions, Wigan Warriors.
The club would like to thank director of rugby Andy Gaffney for working tirelessly alongside Wigan to get the partnership over the line.
Our head coach Paul Crarey has maintained a great relationship with Wigan’s head coach Matt Peet and reserves coach John Duffy.
Wigan have provided tremendous support during times of injury, entrusting our club and coaching staff with some of their most promising young players.
Feedback from the Wigan players indicates they’ve thoroughly enjoyed their time at Barrow, with both them and their families well cared for.
The link between the Raiders and Warriors will offer some of Wigan’s transition players the opportunity to gain further valuable and regular first team experience and play competitive rugby league to help with their development.
As part of the agreement, when a Wigan player goes on dual-registration to Barrow, that player will be eligible to play and train with both clubs. The player is restricted to play in one fixture per scheduled round of fixtures in any given week and would not be eligible to play twice for Barrow and Wigan during the same weekend.
The Warriors demonstrate massive support for their community, both within rugby league and beyond. We share similar values that define Wigan as a fantastic brand, and eagerly anticipate a long-lasting partnership.
