In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves throughout the rugby league world, Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet has officially signed a four-year contract extension worth an unprecedented $88.49 million. The deal, confirmed earlier today, marks the most lucrative coaching contract in the history of the sport and signals Wigan’s unwavering intent to solidify their place at the top of the rugby league hierarchy for years to come.
The news was revealed in a press conference at the DW Stadium, where Wigan executives, players, and fans erupted in applause as Peet, 40, committed his long-term future to the club he has guided to recent glory. The record-breaking contract will see Peet remain at the helm through to the end of the 2029 season, with a significant performance-based incentive structure included in the deal.
“This is more than just a contract — it’s a statement of belief in the vision we share for this great club,” Peet said in his address. “I’m incredibly honoured and grateful for the trust placed in me by the board and the fans. Wigan is in my blood, and I’m more committed than ever to building a legacy that future generations can be proud of.”
Peet, a Wigan native and lifelong supporter of the club, has become a transformational figure since taking over as head coach in 2021. Under his leadership, the Warriors have returned to prominence, winning major silverware, including a Super League title and multiple domestic cup triumphs. His emphasis on culture, discipline, and homegrown talent has endeared him to fans and players alike, with many crediting him for revitalising the club’s identity and competitive edge.
The $88.49 million contract — which equates to roughly $22.1 million per year — dwarfs previous coaching deals in rugby league and even rivals those in more financially dominant sports. According to insiders, the investment is designed not only to retain Peet’s services but also to provide him with the resources to further elevate the Warriors’ infrastructure, academy, and recruitment strategies.
Wigan Warriors Chairman Ian Lenagan praised the deal as “a once-in-a-generation commitment” to both a coach and a vision that has already yielded remarkable results.
“Matt Peet embodies everything we want this club to represent — humility, hard work, and excellence,” Lenagan said. “His leadership has transformed the way we operate, from the grassroots to the firsIn a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves throughout the rugby league world, Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet has officially signed a four-year contract extension worth an unprecedented $88.49 million.
