WIGAN WARRIORS have made a shock swoop for dual code international Gareth Thomas.
Former Wales and British Lions centre Gareth Thomas has been looking for a new club since Crusaders announced they were quitting Super League next season.
Warriors looked at Thomas earlier this season as a replacement for centre George Carmont, who has since signed a new one-year deal.
But the Warriors still moved for Thomas to boost their depth in the outside backs.
Thomas, 37, has also agreed a one-year deal and will link up with Crusaders and Wales coach Iestyn Harris again.
Harris will become assistant to Shaun Wane when he takes over from Michael Maguire as Wigan boss next year.
Thomas has been steady rather than spectacular since switching codes at the start of last year.
It is difficult to see him getting many chances after Joel Tomkins’ switch from second-row to centre and Warriors fans will be shocked by the move.
