Wigan have brought former NRL utility Dan Sarginson back to the club on a two-year deal.

The England international spent three seasons at the DW Stadium but swapped Super League for the Gold Coast after helping the Warriors to glory in last year's grand final.

However, he made only five appearances before his 2017 season was cut short by a shoulder injury in May, with Sarginson now opting for a return to Wigan after being released by the Titans.

He was also acquitted of assault after an altercation with a bouncer.

"I can't wait to get back to the club I have so many fond memories with including the greatest moment of my career, winning the 2016 grand final," the 24-year-old said.

"Although it didn't work out the way I would have liked due to injuries I'm glad to have had the experience of playing the in NRL."

Sarginson, who can play at centre, fullback or on the wing, scored 26 tries in 82 games during his first spell at Wigan after moving to the club from London Broncos and has gone on to play three times for England.

"Dan joined us as a youngster in 2014 who was relatively new to the game and left us as a grand final winner and an England international," Wigan coach Shaun Wane said.

"He knows what we're all about and - having spoken with him recently - I know just how keen he is to play regularly, compete for honours and get started with pre-season training."
