Wigan Warriors have confirmed that England full-back Sam Tomkins will rejoin the club on a four-year deal after he agreed to leave National Rugby League side New Zealand Warriors.
The Super League giants have paid "in excess of £200,000" for the 26-year-old, who they sold to New Zealand Warriors for a reported world record fee of about £700,000 two years ago.
Tomkins told Wigan's official website: "I am really happy to have this sorted and to be returning home to Wigan. All of my friends and family live in Wigan, a lot of them play for Wigan. It really was a no-brainer for me.
"It's been a fantastic experience to test myself in the NRL but the reality is I am 13,000 miles away from my friends and family."
Tomkins leaves New Zealand with a year remaining on the three-year deal he initially signed and will return to Wigan for the 2016 Super League season.
