Inglis open to longer stay in UK
GREG Inglis has not ruled out extending his stay in England if he lives up to his lofty 2021 goals at Super League club Warrington.
Super League is still buzzing after Inglis last week announced that he would come out of retirement, signing a one-year deal with the Wolves.
While the former Kangaroos and Queensland star admitted it would take some time to regain his peak levels in the UK, he vowed to bounce back to his “very best” form and help Warrington win their first premiership since 1955.
“It may not happen in the first couple of weeks, as I will have to adjust,” Inglis told the Warrington Guardian newspaper. “But I promise you that I’ll get back to my very best.
“Lifting the premiership trophy over there is my drive.”
Asked if he would stay longer in England if all went to plan next year, Inglis said: “When it comes to that, I’ll go back to communication with my family, my support network back home, my grandparents, who have been my No.1 supporters.”
Inglis will be 34 when he makes his debut for Warrington in March.
After overcoming fitness and mental health issues since retiring in April 2019, Inglis was confident of helping Warrington end their title drought – like he did in 2014 when South Sydney claimed their first premiership in 43 years.
