Dan Sarginson (born 26 May 1993) is a professional rugby league footballer who plays for the Wigan Warriors in the European Super League.[6]

Sarginson plays as a centre, but has previous experience as a fullback, wing or stand-off.[2][3]

He is an England international having made his last appearance back in the 2016.

Sarginson began his career at Hemel Stags before moving to London Broncos, and onto Wigan Warriors. He then left Wigan for Gold Coast Titans in the National Rugby League but returned to Wigan to gain regular first team football.

Background

Sarginson was born in Perth, Western Australia.

Career

Early life and career

Sarginson was raised in Hemel Hempstead, where he attended Cavendish School, and played for England as a schoolboy. He played for Hemel Stags at junior level before joining Super League side Harlequins RL.

London Broncos

Sarginson made his début for Harlequins (now London Broncos) and scored a try in the 70-0 victory over Gateshead Thunder in the Challenge Cup match at Gateshead International Stadium on Friday 6 May 2011, and made his Super League début for Harlequins and scored two tries in the 18-26 defeat by Salford City Reds at The Willows, Salford on Friday 1 July 2011.[7]

Sarginson was offered a four year contract by London Broncos in 2012 but refused to sign the deal.

After this he was injured on-and-off for the majority of his time in London and went on to play just 51 times for the capital Super League side, scoring 17 tries.

On 18 October 2013, Wigan Warriors announced that they had signed the out-of-contract Sarginson for the 2014 and 2015 Super League seasons.[8]

Wigan Warriors

Sarginson's performances for the Warriors earned him a nomination for Super League's Young Player of the Year for the 2014 season, but he would lose out to Daryl Clark of the Castleford Tigers.

His injury record improved and he was mainly available for selection during his first spell at Wigan.

He was part of the England squad for the 2014 Four Nations tournament.

Sarginson was selected in England's 24-man squad for the 2016 Four Nations.

Gold Coast Titans

On 29 March 2016, Sarginson announced that he would leave the Super League, and join the National Rugby League club, Gold Coast Titans for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

He made six appearances for Gold Coast during the 2017 NRL season before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.[9]

Return to Wigan

On 13 December 2017, Gold Coast Titans agreed to release Sarginson who had made few appearances and faced a court case in his time in Australia.

Wigan Warriors re-signed Sarginson on a two-year deal.[10] On his return he was handed the number 3 shirt vacated by Anthony Gelling.[11]

After starting in the first two matches of the season he missed the next two months with a recurrence of a shoulder injury which restricted his appearances whilst at the Gold Coast Titans. On his return to the team he scored his first try of the season against the Catalan Dragons before missing a months of action with an ankle injury a few weeks later. A try against Hull FC was followed a week later by another injury ruling him out for another month before his return to the side against St Helens. A try against the Castleford Tigers and a brace against St Helens followed as he found some of the form which helped the Warriors lift the Super League trophy in 2016. After a resounding victory over St Helens he received the news that his younger brother had sadly passed away, as the Wigan club gathered around him, he bravely decided to play just days later against Wakefield Trinity[12]. After an emotional minutes silence Sarginson helped defeat Wakefield to keep Wigans unbeaten run going.
