Junior Nsemba has set the target of making a name for himself with Wigan Warriors after agreeing a new six-year contract with the Betfred Super League champions.

The 20-year-old second-row had already signed a four-year deal with the Warriors last October but has now put pen to paper on a contract which keeps him at The Brick Community Stadium until at least the end of the 2030 season.

Nsemba’s extended family includes former Cameroon international footballers in his cousin Alex Song and uncle Rigobert Song, and he is now determined to cement his status as one of rugby league’s rising stars after agreeing this extension.

“It was a no-brainer, really,” Nsemba, who admitted he was surprised to be offered another new contract, told Sky Sports. “I got the call from my agent saying Rads wanted to talk to him, got the good news and my parents are buzzing and I’m buzzing.

“I wasn’t really expecting it because I signed last October, and I was pretty happy with my contract then.
