Widnes Vikings can confirm that off season signing Will Evans will be returning home to Australia in the next week.
Will requested a release from his contract on compassionate grounds which the club has granted.
Although it is disappointing to lose Will after only featuring in one pre-season fixture, we respect his decision to return home to be with his family.
Everyone at the club wishes Will well and thank him for his short spell in Vikings colours.
The club is actively seeking additions to the squad, which has started the season with three wins from four.
