New signing, Harvey Wilson is excited to test his abilities in a first-team environment.
The youngster has become the latest addition to Paul Rowley’s squad and will bolster our forward pack for the next two years.
After progressing through the ranks with Wigan Warriors’ Scholarship programme, the 20-year-old has enjoyed loan spells at various Championship clubs and will now make the step-up to a professional environment for the first time.
Speaking exclusively to our YouTube channel, Wilson said: “I’m excited to be here. I’ve been around a first-team environment before, but it’s a bit of a new thing for me.
“The players, coaches and everyone have been really welcoming – I’ve had a good first day, good session.”
Moving on to describe what skillset he can bring to the team, the forward continued: “I think I’m a bit of a smaller middle, so I’ve got a bit of pace, a bit of ball-handling.
“I like to think I’m a bit strong too, but I’d like to see about that at first-team level.”
“I think I’m just starting to come into my own a little bit. From Academy/Reserves, up to Championship, it’s a big step – bigger bodies.
“But I think I’ve done well in Champ and I just want to test myself in a first-team environment against some other first-team players.”
Wilson has already been hard at work in training, linking-up on Monday morning as the team prepare for the visit of world champions, Wigan Warriors this Sunday.
“All the time. I think it’s important, however old you are – even if I was a bit older – if there’s people that are more experienced or people that are younger that have a good skillset, ” he stated when asked whether he’ll be leaning on the advice of some of the senior figures in the team.
“But it’s just about asking questions, I’ll be asking questions all the time, getting as much as I can.
“They’ve already been great. Like today I’ve had a lot of people saying a lot of things; what they can tip me up with with.”
