Vikings sign up young-guns

Tuesday 3rd August 2010

Story in brief:

Vikings sign up young-guns.

Widnes Vikings are pleased to announce the signing of thirteen juniors including twelve players from this years' all-conquering U16 Scholarship side.

Phil Finney Head of Youth Performance, said: "To sign players of this calibre is fantastic for us as a club. What is even more pleasing is that each of these players only wanted to sign for Widnes Vikings despite offers from elsewhere, which gives us great hope for both now and the future."
