In a significant boost for the Wigan Warriors, the club has confirmed that head coach Matt Peet has signed a new long-term contract, ensuring his stay at the helm of the club for the foreseeable future. The deal, which has been described as a “major commitment” by the club, solidifies Peet’s position as one of the key figures in the Warriors’ pursuit of Super League glory.
Peet, who took over as head coach in 2021, has quickly gained a reputation for his meticulous coaching style, deep understanding of the game, and dedication to developing young talent. Under his guidance, the Warriors have shown impressive growth, with a strong focus on both the development of homegrown players and the tactical discipline needed to challenge the best teams in Super League.
Wigan Warriors’ executive chairman, Ian Lenagan, expressed his delight at the agreement, stating: “Matt has proven himself to be an outstanding head coach, both in terms of his ability to lead the team and his commitment to the future of the club. His work with our players, particularly the development of young talent, has been instrumental in driving the club forward. We are confident that this new contract will help us achieve even greater success in the coming years.”
Since taking over, Peet has overseen a number of significant milestones, including an improved defensive record and a renewed focus on team culture. His ability to blend experienced stars like Bevan French and Jai Field with promising young talents such as Harry Smith and Oliver Partington has given the Warriors a balanced and formidable squad.
The new contract deal is seen as a clear sign of Wigan’s ambition and desire to return to the top of English rugby league. While the club has enjoyed sustained success over the years, Peet’s vision aligns with the Warriors’ ambition to build for long-term success, both on and off the pitch.
Peet himself commented on the new deal: “I am absolutely delighted to continue my journey at Wigan. This club means so much to me, and I am excited about the direction we are heading in. We have a talented squad and a fantastic support base, and I am committed to making sure we achieve our goals together.”
With Peet firmly in charge, Wigan Warriors look poised to challenge for titles in the coming seasons.
