After reading of Luke Gale (Harlequins)making the smooth transition to Super League and scoring two tries v Warrington, got me thinking who was the last player Wigan signed from National League 2 ?

Does Wigan have a scout out at those games ?

Luke Gale isnt really National League 2. He was highly rated at Leeds but was never going to oust the players in his position so Leeds allowed him to go on loan then sign permanent.
