Higham joins fellow Wigan youngster Finley Beardsworth in making the move to Heywood Road. The back-rower, who came through the junior system at Bank Quay Bulls, started for Wigan’s Reserves outfit in their 2023 Grand Final victory over St Helens at Robin Park Arena.
The pair join Reece Briers at Swinton, son of former Super League and Wales legendary half-back, and ex-Wigan assistant coach, Lee.
The 19-year-old signed his first contract with the Warriors in 2022, having previously represented Salford Red Devils and playing his junior amateur days at community club Leigh Miners Rangers.
Higham scored three tries in as many appearances for the Warriors Academy in 2023, but did not make his first-team debut for the Cherry and Whites.
