In a highly anticipated move, the St. George Illawarra Dragons have officially announced the return of former player and fans favorite, Jack Wighton. The club made the news public in a statement earlier today, confirming that Wighton will rejoin the team for the upcoming NRL season.

Dragons’ head coach, Anthony Griffin, expressed his excitement about Wighton’s return. “Jack’s experience and skill set are going to be invaluable for us,” Griffin said. “He brings a level of professionalism and intensity that will help elevate the entire squad. We’re thrilled to welcome him back to the club.”

Wighton’s return is expected to bolster the Dragons’ roster significantly as they prepare for a competitive season ahead. The club’s supporters have reacted with enthusiasm, hopeful that Wighton’s presence will reignite the team’s performance and drive them towards a successful campaign.

Jack Wighton himself shared his excitement about rejoining the Dragons. “I’m really looking forward to getting back on the field with the Dragons,” Wighton said. “This club has always held a special place in my heart, and I’m ready to contribute to its success once again.”

The St. George Illawarra Dragons will kick off their season with high expectations as they welcome back one of their own in hopes of achieving a memorable year.
