Former Wigan Warriors star Kai Pearce-Paul is making headlines as he prepares to test the waters of the open market. The 23-year-old, now playing for the Newcastle Knights in the NRL, has shown remarkable growth in his first season down under, establishing himself as one of the league’s most promising rookies. As his current contract nears its end, rumors are swirling that the Wigan Warriors star could command a staggering $600,000 deal with a potential new club.
Pearce-Paul, who made the jump from the Wigan Warriors to the NRL’s Knights just a year ago, has impressed with his performances despite missing out on silverware. He appeared in 22 games before an unfortunate leg injury cut his season short. Nevertheless, the Wigan Warriors star‘s talent has not gone unnoticed, and rival clubs are already circling with lucrative offers as his two-year contract is nearing its final stretch.
With only one year left on his current deal, the Wigan Warriors star is rumored to be keen on exploring his options. Reports suggest that Pearce-Paul, who can demand a hefty paycheck, is likely to secure a multi-year contract worth upwards of $1.2 million—far beyond what he could earn back in Super League. His potential departure from Newcastle adds intrigue to the upcoming transfer window, with fans of the Wigan Warriors and beyond eagerly watching to see where the star will land next.
Despite the financial limitations at Newcastle, there remains a slim chance Pearce-Paul could stay. However, the Wigan Warriors star may follow in the footsteps of other former teammates who have moved on for better deals. With his stock rising, it’s no surprise that many expect Pearce-Paul to be one of the top names in the transfer market this offseason.
