Wigan have announced a partnership with Kingstone Press Championship club Workington, who this week appointed former Warriors assistant Phil Veivers as their new head coach.
The Cumbrian club will have access to Wigan's fringe players under the dual-registration scheme as well as benefiting from the Super League champions' training philosophies, strength and conditioning and community projects.
Wigan rugby manager Kris Radlinski said: "We are pleased to formalise this agreement with Workington Town which will develop throughout the season to the huge benefit of both parties.
"We currently have three of our young players in Lewis Tierney, Jack Murphy and Rob Lever playing for Workington on one month loan deals and the feedback we have had from all of them has been fantastic.
"We see opportunities for other players this season to head up there to gain first-team match experience.
"Workington are a progressive club with big ambitions and the recent appointment of Phil Veivers as head coach also strengthens the relationship we will have with them."
