Warrington prop Ashton Sims to join Toronto Wolfpack in 2018
Tuesday 12 September 2017 21:34, UK
Warrington's out-of-contract prop Ashton Sims will play for the Toronto Wolfpack in 2018.
The 32-year-old Fiji international becomes the second recruit for the Canadian club, who have clinched promotion to the Kingstone Press Championship at the first attempt, following the capture of Widnes centre Tom Armstrong.
Sims has made 85 Super League appearances since joining the Wolves from North Queensland Cowboys ahead of the 2015 season and played in both the Challenge Cup final and Super League Grand Final in 2016.
"I am so honoured to have represented not only this club, but the people of Warrington and hope they know that I put every ounce of energy into this jersey doing the sport I love," said Sims.
"I wish I could have stayed on longer but it wasn't to be. As my youngest daughter Kaya was born here, I'll always have ties to this great town.

Warrington are currently looking for a new coach following the decision, announced at the weekend, to part company with Tony Smith and will have a new-look squad in 2018.
