Wolves step up Higham interest
Published Date:

Warrington have confirmed their interest in departing Wigan hooker Micky Higham.
But they won't be able to make an official approach until after the August 31 anti-tampering deadline.
Wolves benefactor Simon Moran said: "We're looking at him. He seems like a good player and he's keen to come to Warrington, so we'll see what we can do."
Higham has been told he can leave the Warriors at the end of the current campaign after three-years at the JJB Stadium.
Wigan have signed Australian Mark Riddell for next season as his replacement.
Higham, 27, is keen to remain in the north west and has also attracted interest from Salford and Widnes.
But Warrington are shaping as his most likely destination. They need a new hooker to replace Mark Gleeson, who left to join Halifax.
Wolves stand-in coach James Lowes admitted: "He's a good player and he's played at the top for a lot of years."
