Wigan filled their halfback vacancy by announcing the capture of London Broncos' Australian No.7 Dennis Moran on a two-year deal.

The 27-year-old Moran, who made 109 Super League appearances for the Broncos since joining them from Parramatta in 2001, was unveiled as Wigan's successor to Adrian Lam, who hung up his boots at the end of the season.

"I have enjoyed my time at London Broncos but I have been given a wonderful chance to join a great club," said Moran.

"At 27, I think I have just reached my peak and I am ambitious to win trophies. Playing with a talented Wigan side makes me very excited."

Moran topped the Super League try-scoring charts in 2002 and 2003 and has amassed a staggering total of 75 touchdowns in four seasons.

"We are delighted to have been able to sign one of the country's most exciting scrum-halves following the retirement of Adrian Lam," Wigan chairman Maurice Lindsay said.

"He was actually recommended to us by Adrian, who always said he was one of the most talented scrum-halves he had ever played against.

"We have admired Dennis for several seasons and he has had some tremendous games against us and was outstanding against us when we lost to London Broncos this year. He balances our side and we now have several options available to us."
