The 19-year-old's contract was due to expire at the end of the season but he has impressed after being given the opportunity to shine in the first team.

Wigan coach Denis Betts said Hansen deserved a new deal, adding: "He has worked hard this season and has established himself as a regular."

"With such a great attitude we are all confident he will get to the very top and be a Wigan star for a long time."
