Christian Wade, the former Wasps winger and NFL running back, is set to make a significant transition back into rugby league with the Wigan Warriors. As he prepares for this move, Wade has welcomed guidance from rugby league legend Martin Offiah, who has offered to mentor him during this pivotal phase of his career.
Offiah, renowned for his exceptional try-scoring prowess and induction into the Rugby League Hall of Fame, has expressed his willingness to support Wade as he navigates the challenges of switching codes. Wade, who has been one of the Premiership’s top try-scorers, including a remarkable six hat-tricks, is eager to learn from Offiah’s extensive experience and success in rugby league.
This mentorship comes at a time when Wade is also engaging in friendly competition with fellow winger Chris Ashton, who currently holds the record for the most Premiership tries. Wade has humorously remarked that he intends to surpass Ashton’s record, adding a layer of excitement to his return to rugby league.
With Offiah’s guidance and his own determination, Wade is poised to make a significant impact in the Super League, bringing his dynamic playing style and try-scoring ability to the Wigan Warriors.
