YOUNG Warrington Wolves Centre Connor Wrench has announced his retirement from the game with immediate effect, with his final appearance scoring a try in last weekend’s defeat at Huddersfield Giants.
He came through the club’s pathways system and made his debut against Salford in September 2020, aged 18. However, he suffered anterior cruciate ligament injuries in both 2022 and 2024 and has now quit the sport, after 19 tries in 51 appearances.
After nine years at the club, Wrench will now be pursuing a new opportunity outside of the sport. He departs with the club’s best wishes for the future and we thank him for his commitment and contribution. We will support him with his welfare and transition out of the sport.
Connor Wrench said: “This hasn’t been an easy decision, and one I’ve been contemplating for a while, but it feels like the right step for me to make.
“I can’t thank everyone at the club enough for the part they’ve played in my journey.
“Representing my hometown club has meant a huge deal to me and I want to thank all my teammates, coaches, the staff and of course the fans for all their support over the years. The support I had through my injuries is something I’ll always appreciate too.
“I’m looking forward to a fresh challenge and wish the club every success in the future.”
