Bevan French set for 100th appearance for Wigan Warriors in Betfred Super League showdown

Bevan French, the reigning Man of Steel, is set to make his 100th appearance for Wigan Warriors as they face off against Hull KR in the Betfred Super League on Friday night. French made his debut for the Warriors almost five years ago against the same opponent, where he showcased his talent and potential in a brief cameo.

Since then, French has become an integral part of the Wigan team, helping them secure victories in the Betfred Challenge Cup, Betfred Super League Grand Final, and World Club Challenge. His impact extends beyond the field, as he now plays a key role in the club’s leadership group, setting standards for the younger players coming through the ranks.

Despite receiving offers to return to the NRL, French decided to stay with Wigan, signing a four-year contract extension earlier this month. He expressed his love for the club and the community, stating that he feels he is constantly improving and evolving as a player.

Wigan head coach Matt Peet praised French for his determination, talent, and character, highlighting his development over the course of his 100 games for the club. Peet believes that French has the potential to go down as a legend at Wigan and is proud of the player he has become.

As French prepares to reach the milestone of 100 appearances for Wigan, fans and supporters are eagerly anticipating the game against Hull KR. With his exceptional talent and dedication to the club, French has already proven himself to be a key player for Wigan, and there is no doubt that he will continue to shine in the Super League.
