JUNIOR IS A WARRIOR FOR GOOD

Long-term deal for ace Nsemba

- Dave Craven

JUNIOR NSEMBA has signed a bumper new deal with Wigan and declared: "I want to become a legend here." The champions have tied down one of Super League's most exciting talents on a six-year contract.

Powerful second-row Nsemba, 20, has enjoyed a brilliant breakthrough campaign, winning the Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield.

He is expected to make his England debut against Samoa next month and is heavily tipped to claim Super League's Young Player of the Year award, having already made the Dream Team this week.

While many top English talents head to the NRL, Nsemba insists he wants to star with hometown Wigan for years to come.

And he could potentially even be a one-club man like famed assistant coach Sean O'Loughlin, right, and current captain Liam Farrell.
