Roberts has also played for Penrith and St George Illawarra in the NRL

Wigan Warriors are close to signing Sydney Roosters winger Amos Roberts on a four-year deal.

Reports in Australia claim Roberts, 27, was released from the last year of his contract to ease salary cap pressure.

Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan told the club website: "It provides Amos with the opportunity to fulfil a life-long dream of playing in England."

The winger made 88 appearances for the Roosters and scored 54 tries in his time with the club.
