RISING prop star George King is setting his sights high with Warrington Wolves next season.

The 20-year-old Yorkshireman, who in September extended his contract with the club until the end of 2017, is not one to settle for simply improving on the 19 appearances he achieved during his 2015 breakthrough campaign.

And he is not afraid to hide his ambition.

“I’ve signed at this club to win some silverware,” said King, older brother of centre Toby who also featured in the first team seven times this year.

“I’m really desperate to win some silverware. I am taking it week by week in terms of really improving myself but I want to give what I can to the team in 2016, kick on and get some silvere.

“It’s what the fans deserve and it’s what this club deserves.”

Neither of the King brothers are strangers to success, having been members of the same unbeaten year 11 rugby league team at Honley High School in Holmfirth that was crowned national champions four years ago.

Although Tony Smith’s men underperformed badly as a unit in Super League XX – keeping the door closed on the trophy cabinet for a third term on the trot – King’s 15 appearances off the bench as well as starting the last four games of the season highlight personal success.

“I look back at the year quite good really,” said King, who played his junior rugby from the age of six at Newsome Panthers, Meltham All Blacks and Siddal until joining the youth ranks at Huddersfield Giants, from where he joined Wolves in late 2013.

“I got quite a few games under my belt and gained a lot of experience playing with the likes of Chris Hill, Ashton Sims, Roy Asotasi and Joel Monaghan.

“I’ve learned quite a lot, it’s been good for me. They’ve taught me quite a lot in training, what to do within our structures and our plays, and about me bedding in and improving week by week.

“I did find it quite a step up from Academy level. Players are a lot bigger, more physical and games are a lot faster too.

“But you soon pick it up and you soon learn.

“I know that I might have made a few mistakes early in the season but that’s all part and parcel of the game.

“I quickly learned and I felt by the end of the season I was more bedded in with the side.

“I’ve learned lots under Tony Smith, Richard Agar and all the staff. They’ve all given me tips on where I need to improve and I’ve relished it really.”

After a short break from the rugby that included a 10-day holiday in Turkey with his girlfriend, King is now in the second week of pre-season training.

“The plan now is to hopefully take all of what I learned in 2015 through pre-season and kick on even more next year.

“I think as a group if we can have a really good pre-season we should do really well next year.”
