 Peachey will join Widnes after 12 years with the Cronulla Sharks |
Australian full-back David Peachey has confirmed he will still join Widnes despite their relegation. The former Australia international is thought to have taken a pay cut to play in the National League.
But the 31-year-old said: "I always had an ambition to play in England after 12 years with the Cronulla Sharks.
"As a boy, I developed an interest in Widnes and I am showing my commitment to the club. I want to take this club back to its most successful days."
Peachey agreed to join the club in June in a two-year deal partly funded by Vikings' fans.
He added: "I really appreciate the club, fans and sponsors' support and I can't wait to arrive at my new home in Widnes with my partner later this year."
Widnes will be relegated if the National League One Grand Final winners meet the criteria for promotion to Super League.
