Wigan has produced talent that includes among others the late Mike Gregory, Joe Lydon and Andy Gregory who went on to forge careers at the top of rugby league, and the likes of Dave Cusani and many others who gained international and county honours at rugby union. In 2016/17, for the first time in the club's 104-year history they had mini, junior and colts teams playing in every age group, with an added bonus of an U5's and 6's training team.
