A New Viking Joins the Pack!
The Widnes Vikings are thrilled to announce their seventh signing for the upcoming 2026 season, and it's a young, talented winger named Frank Sergent. Fresh from the Warrington Wolves, Sergent is set to bring his skills and speed to the DCBL Stadium.
At just 19 years old, Frank has already made a name for himself in the rugby world. He's a product of the renowned Warrington Academy, and his journey has been an exciting one. With a wealth of experience at the reserve level, Sergent has faced the Vikings before, showcasing his talent in a pre-season victory against the Wire.
But here's where it gets interesting. Last season, Frank gained valuable first-team experience on loan with the Swinton Lions. In just 15 appearances, he scored an impressive five tries, proving his worth in a highly physical league. And this is the part most people miss - it's not just about the tries. Frank's ability to bring the ball out of the back field with speed and agility is a game-changer.
On joining the Vikings, Sergent expressed his excitement, saying, "I'm thrilled to be part of this team and their vision for the future. Playing in this league is an intense experience, and I aim to build on the skills I developed at Swinton."
Head Coach Allan Coleman couldn't agree more. He commented, "Frank is a talented player, and his performance on loan last year showed us just how dangerous he can be. We're excited to have him on board and see what he brings to the team."
Welcome to the Vikings, Frank! We can't wait to see you in action next season.
