Former Wigan volunteer Matt Peet will lead the club out in the Grand Final at Old Trafford on Saturday
The home-grown 39-year-old started as a volunteer at the club before clawing his way through the scholarship and academy ranks to assume the prestigious head coach role in 2021. “If you do a good job at Wigan there are people who trust you and believe in you and that’s what happened with me, particularly with Kris Radlinski, who saw enough in me to promote me from within.Emulating his early mentor, the current England coach Shaun Wane, Peet was appointed Wigan’s assistant under-20s coach in 2009, moving on to his first head coaching role in charge of the under-18 side two years later.
By a twist of fate Peet now finds himself plotting to disrupt a fairytale finish for 34-year-old Tomkins, who will play the last match of his illustrious career in Catalans colours.
