Ahead of a historic milestone, Wigan Warriors coach praises “special” stalwart Liam Farrell.

Wigan captain Liam Farrell will make his 400th career appearance when they take on Leeds Rhinos on Saturday afternoon, and ahead of hitting that milestone, he’s been lauded by Warriors boss Matt Peet.

A born and bred Wiganer, 34-year-old Farrell came through his boyhood club’s academy to make a senior debut for the Cherry and Whites on April 5, 2010 away against Wakefield Trinity, marking the occasion with a try.

Prior to that, he’d made six appearances on loan for Widnes Vikings in the Championship earlier that year.

But skip forward over 14 years, and after debuting for Wigan, he’s never donned the shirt of any other club again.

When he makes his 400th career appearance on Saturday at Headingley, it’ll include those six appearances for Widnes, two for England Knights and the 16 he’s made for England at full international level.
