Canberra five-eighth Blake Austin is headed to Super League after signing a three-year deal with Warrington.

The 27-year-old playmaker will take the place of the Wolves' marquee player Tyrone Roberts.

Price says Warrington fought off competition from clubs in both Super League and the NRL to secure his signature.
