The one condition in Gareth Widdop's exit from Dragons

The Dragons have granted Gareth Widdop a release to return home to the UK, but there’s one big condition. The St George Illawarra skipper will quit the NRL at the end of the 2019 season to return to his native England and join Super League side Warrington Wolves. “I’ve made a big decision in my career having decided to move back to England next year,” Widdop told the club’s website. “It certainly hasn’t been the easiest decision but sometimes in life we have aspirations
and playing in the Super League has been one of mine for a while now. “I’ve been away from home for a long time now and, growing up in Halifax, I always had dreams of playing in Super League.” “I’ve been here a long time now and to get to where we have with the roster we’ve got, to leave it all behind especially being the captain will be difficult,” he said. “I still have the 2019 season to come. “Warrington have given me the opportunity to come home and live out a childhood dream,” he said. “I’m really excited for that. It’s a long way off yet but it’s something I’m looking forward to.”
