Warrington's Adrian Morley, Ben Harrison and Chris Bridge have all signed two-year contract extensions until the end of the 2012 season. The 32-year-old Morley captains the Challenge Cup winners, while Harrison, 21, and Bridge, 25, have established themselves as first-team regulars. "We are delighted to have retained the services of these players," said Wolves boss Tony Smith. "They're all improving and we were more than happy to extend their contracts." All three players have also recently been named in Smith's England training squad for the Four Nations tournament later this month. "It is always good to retain experience as it gives the club some stability for the future and maintain our good blend of players in the squad," added Smith. "I am looking forward to continuing to work with them." Morley, who joined the Wolves after a lengthy spell in the NRL, has been a key performer for club and country over the last decade and is regarded as one of the most-respected players in Super League. After lifting the Challenge Cup at Wembley to end the Wolves' long wait for silverware, Morley was named in the Super League Dream Team and shortlisted for the Man of Steel award. Harrison has been at the club since 2004 and played in all but two of Warrington's games this season. Smith praised the prop for the "energy and heart" he puts into his performances, while Bridge has also enjoyed an excellent season.
