WIGAN WARRIORS halfback Logan Astley has left the club following an impressive loan spell with Oldham in League One.
Now, talented young playmaker Astley has signed a two-year deal with the Roughyeds, who had to fight off stiff competition to secure Astley’s signature with several interested parties.
Making his debut for the Roughyeds in April 2022, Astley scored ten tries and brought speed as well as his off-the-cuff playing style to Oldham in the five games he played over the past two seasons
Growing up, Astley started off playing for Wigan St Pats as well as Orrell St James, and had stints playing for Wigan RUFC and Sale Sharks.
Billinge-born Astley was part of last year’s Warriors reserve side that went unbeaten and won the Grand Final over Wakefield.
A player with huge potential, Astley also represented England at under-16s level before making his Wigan first team debut against Huddersfield Giants in 2022.
Equally as good at full-back, the pacey Astley adds versatility with him able to operate in a number of positions.
