BREAKING NEWS: Wigan Warriors Legend and Former Player Jason Robinson Made His Return to The Team as Wigan Warriors Chairman After Huge Deal
In a stunning and emotional development, **Wigan Warriors legend and former player Jason Robinson has officially returned to the club**—this time in a powerful new role, as **Chairman of the Wigan Warriors**, following the conclusion of a major agreement finalized earlier this week.
The move marks a historic moment for the Super League giants, as Robinson, one of the most iconic figures in rugby league and union, re-joins the club where he first made his name. After weeks of speculation behind the scenes, the club confirmed on Tuesday that the legendary winger has signed a significant executive deal that will see him take on one of the highest positions in the Wigan hierarchy.
“It’s more than just coming home,” Robinson said in his first official statement. “Wigan has always been in my heart. This club gave me everything—my start, my memories, my purpose. To come back in a position where I can help shape the future of the Warriors is not just an honour, it’s a responsibility I take with pride.”
Jason Robinson, known affectionately by fans as “Billy Whizz” due to his electric pace, began his professional rugby league career with Wigan in the early 1990s. Over his career at the club, he won multiple Challenge Cups, league titles, and helped redefine the role of the modern winger with his explosive speed, footwork, and fearless determination. He later went on to make history by switching codes and becoming a Rugby World Cup winner with England in 2003.
But despite his success in both codes of rugby, Robinson has always been synonymous with Wigan. His return as Chairman now brings his journey full circle, and supporters could not be more excited.
Club CEO Kris Radlinski welcomed the appointment, stating, “Jason is not just a legend in rugby terms — he’s a man of integrity, vision, and deep understanding of what Wigan stands for. This is not just a PR move — this is a powerful step toward the next phase of our evolution as a club.”
The deal is said to include long-term strategic responsibilities for Robinson, including oversight of youth development, player welfare, community outreach, and expansion of the Wigan Warriors brand on both domestic and global stages.
Fans have reacted with overwhelming positivity across social media platforms. Within minutes of the club’s announcement, hashtags like **#RobinsonReturns** and **#WiganLegendBack** began trending, with supporters sharing old highlights, personal stories, and messages of gratitude.
“Jason coming back is exactly what the club needed,” one fan posted. “He knows the values of Wigan inside and out. This is more than symbolic — it’s powerful.”
