Wigan Warriors have handed three young players new two-year deals with an option to stay at the club until the end of 2011.

Centre Darrell Goulding, hooker Michael McIlorum and prop Paul Prescott have agreed terms to stay at Wigan.

Chairman Ian Lenagan told the club website: "They are all talented young men who have taken their chances well.

"They have played an important part in our season so far and have major roles to play in the next few years."

He added: "The fact that all three are products of our academy system is even more pleasing and shows both Wigan's commitment to locally-developed players and the talent being developed through our ranks."

Coach Brian Noble said: "I am pleased we have been able to sign the three of them on new deals.

"Darrell, Michael and Paul are all players with great potential within our squad and they have a great future ahead of them with the Wigan Club."
