The Vikings' New Wingman: A Rising Star Joins the Pack
Get ready for an exciting addition to the Widnes Vikings family! We're thrilled to announce our seventh signing ahead of the 2026 season, and it's a young talent that's sure to make waves.
Meet Frank Sergent, a 19-year-old winger with a bright future ahead. Fresh from the Warrington Wolves' academy, Frank is bringing his speed and skill to the DCBL Stadium, and we can't wait to see him in action.
But here's where it gets interesting: Frank has already made his mark in the league. Last season, he gained valuable first-team experience on loan with the Swinton Lions, where he showcased his talent in 15 appearances and scored an impressive five tries. This young man is a force to be reckoned with!
On joining the Vikings, Frank shared his enthusiasm: "I'm overjoyed to be here. After some insightful conversations with Allan, I knew I wanted to be a part of this team's journey. Last season's experience at Swinton has me eager to build on my skills and contribute to the team's success."
And this is the part most people miss: playing in this league is all about physicality and agility. Frank's speed and ability to bring the ball out of the back field will be a game-changer for the Vikings. We're talking about a player who can make a real impact!
Head Coach Allan Coleman had this to say about Frank's arrival: "Developing young talent is crucial, and Frank is an exceptional player. His performance on loan last year proved his potential, and we're excited to see what he brings to the team."
Welcome aboard, Frank! We're counting down the days until we can cheer you on alongside the rest of the Vikings squad.
