Reigning Man of Steel Bevan French is set for his 100th Wigan appearance when they face Hull KR on Friday.
It is just under five years since Bevan French was first unleashed on the Betfred Super League by Wigan Warriors as an interchange player against Hull KR. On Friday, the reigning Man of Steel is set to make his 100th appearance for the club against the same opponent. French's 21-minute cameo in a 36-18 win for the Warriors on that August 2019 evening saw him show enough to anyone watching that this was a player capable of making an impact, with his future head coach among those.
Prior to moving to the Warriors he had been playing for Eels feeder club Wentworthville Magpies in the second-tier New South Wales Cup, but has turned his career around to the extent he has attracted offers to return to the NRL. French has spurned those to remain with Wigan though, signing a four-year contract extension with the Super League champions earlier this month, being determined to repay the faith shown in him initially.
