Matt Peet has signed a new deal as Head Coach of Wigan Warriors, keeping him there until at least the end of the 2027 season.

He has signed a 4 year deal, and comes amid the Warriors' battle at the top of the Super League table.

Peet originally joined the club 14 years ago as an Academy Player.

He began his coaching journey at Westhoughton and Wigan St Patrick’s before moving back to Wigan as Scholarship coach in 2008. He progressed quickly through the Scholarship and Academy coaching ranks eventually becoming Head of Youth Performance in 2013.

Peet says, "The club is in my DNA, and as a leader, my role here is very clear. Walking into our environment every day, and seeing the quality of staff and players we have here, we’re all committed to striving to be one of the best sporting organisations in the UK, and I’m incredibly proud to extend my time with the Club.

"The board have shown great faith in me and I strive every day to repay that trust not just in a winning rugby team but one that represents Wigan with style and integrity.“
