King excited about Wigan clash

12:12pm Friday 16th May 2008

MATT King is relishing the prospect of taking on Wigan at the JJB Stadium tonight, Friday.

Although Wolves were eventually beaten 40-34 at St Helens in the Challenge Cup on Saturday, King enjoyed the atmosphere generated by the match.

King, who has dismissed rumours suggesting he would not see out his four-year contract with Wolves, said: "Playing in games against St Helens and Wigan, the atmosphere on the field is awesome.

"Luckily I get to experience that for two weekends in a row, so I'm very excited."

King admits Wigan were one of the clubs he could have joined this year, with Wolves eventually sealing his capture after being late entrants in the race to sign the Australian international.

King said: "Wigan were a possibility but there were a few others as well.

"It was just part of the process of finding a new club."
