Williams to leave the Wolves at the end of 2026

Warrington Wolves have confirmed that captain George Williams will leave the club at the end of the 2026 season, upon the expiry of his current contract, to take up an opportunity in the NRL.

The Club has been in open and honest discussions with George throughout the process and supports his decision to pursue the next chapter of his career in Australia.

Since joining the Wire midway through the 2021 season, George has been an exemplary leader on and off the field, making a significant impact during his time at The Halliwell Jones Stadium. His influence and professionalism have been central to the group, and he will continue to lead the team as captain throughout the 2026 campaign.

Speaking on the decision, George Williams said: “Warrington has been a huge part of my life and I’ve loved every minute of my time at the club. 

“Captaining this team and leading the boys out each week is something I’ll always be incredibly proud of.

“Myself and the Club have been very open with each other throughout, and I’m grateful for the understanding and backing they’ve shown me. 

“My focus now is fully on this season. I’ll continue to give everything I have for the badge, the playing group and the fans. I’m determined to finish my time here on a high.”
