Widnes Vikings are delighted to announce our newest addition for 2025 as Reagan Sumner pens a permanent deal with the club following his loan spell last season.
Sumner, 20, joins from Wigan Warriors on a one-year deal, having made two appearances for the Vikings on loan in 2024.
He scored on his debut for the club in our Round 20 defeat to Wakefield Trinity and also featured in our defeat to Toulouse Olympique in Round 25.
On signing a permanent deal with the club, Sumner said: “I’m over the moon to be a Widnes player in 2025. I think it’s the next step for me to play against bigger bodies and challenge myself in the Championship.
“What excited me the most was the direction the club is heading in, after making the playoffs last year, it adds the drive to make them again. We’ve set the standard now.”
He added: “I can’t wait to get back in with the lads again. The aim for this coming season is to be better than we were last year.
“We want to continue to progress. We were good last year and did well to achieve the playoffs but I think we’re more than capable of being a top-three team in 2025.”
Sumner has made first-team appearances on loan for Barrow, Workington, and York over the last two seasons and is now looking to make his mark on the Vikings with his new permanent deal.
Head Coach Allan Coleman said: “It was great to get Reagan Sumner over the line, obviously we brought him in on loan halfway through last season.
“He’s been at Wigan in that full-time setup and he is an exciting young talent. He’s probably a perfect mixture of both Ryan Ince and Mike Butt, who are our first-choice wingers at present, so he’ll come in and he’ll challenge them for places.
“Reagan has a great work ethic, his energy levels are good and he’s got a lot of pace. It’s exciting for us to bring in young players and build our squad.”
Everyone at the club can’t wait to see Reagan pull on the jersey again in 2025!
