Wigan Warriors star Willie Isa opens up on horror injury comeback and makes contract admission After a horror injury, Willie Isa insists he didn’t fear about his Wigan future - because he was just concentrating on being able to walk properly again.
“Obviously, I wanted to make sure I could compete - but also be able to walk into shopping centres and go for a coffee, not this year or next year but the year after and make sure I’m alright.
He was also out of contract at the end of the season and, due to turn 36 on New Year’s Day, it would have been understandable if a new deal might not come his way.
But boss Matt Peet gave the hard-working forward another one-year contract in October and now the popular Aucklander is preparing for his tenth campaign with Wigan.
Everything is geared around making sure my ankle is right to the best of its ability to give myself every chance.
