Wolfpack add Kilner and Wells on Loan

Toronto Wolfpack is pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement with Wigan Warriors that will see forward Ben Kilner and second-rower Jack Wells on a one-month loan to the Wolfpack and eligible to play at Super League level.

The loan arrangements will take place with immediate effect, meaning that Kilner and Wells could find their names on the teamsheet when Toronto take on reigning Champions St Helens on Saturday at Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Kilner has previously played on loan with Dewsbury Rams and Rochdale Hornets in the second-tier Championship and has featured in both League and Challenge Cup fixtures. On August 18, 2019 Kilner traveled to Lamport Stadium and took to the field in the Hornets defeat at the hands of Toronto.

Wells also spent time in the Championship last season, playing 16 games with Swinton Lions, including the Wolfpack’s Home Opener on April 27. Wells debuted in the Wigan first team at just 18 years of age after standing out in the youth ranks and in 2016 he toured Australia with the English Academy team.

Toronto Head Coach Brian McDermott is delighted with the agreement to secure the services of Kilner and Wells:

“These are two quality young players with experience in professional Rugby League and they will add important depth to our squad in the coming weeks. It is immediately clear that they will come to work hard and endeavour to make our team better. Wigan are a strong, prestigious Club and so I know that both Ben and Jack will have all the tools needed to perform at the highest standard.”
