Bailey agrees Warriors extension

Wigan Warriors back-row forward Phil Bailey has agreed a new one-year deal with the club for the 2010 Super League season.

Bailey, who has been with the Warriors since 2007, saw his original three-year contract end last month.

But after successfully coming through Achilles surgery, Bailey has been rewarded with another 12-month deal at the DW Stadium.

'I am delighted to have signed a new contract having thoroughly enjoyed my time so far with the Warriors,' said the 29-year-old Australian.

'The club have been great to me, I love the town and the fans have been fantastic.

'I was really disappointed to miss the end of last season with an Achilles injury but I am well on the road to recovery now and can’t wait to be part of the squad for the new season.'

Head coach Michael Maguire commented: 'Phil is a great player to have in your squad and I am pleased he is with us for 2010 and possibly beyond.

'He is whole-hearted and committed and has a great work ethic.'

Bailey switched positions from centre to second row in order to hold down a first-team place with the Warriors. In his three seasons with the club he has made 82 appearances and scored 15 tries.ADNFCR-708-ID-19498708-ADNFCR
