Zak Hardaker’s Wigan career has hit a roadblock before it has started after he was charged with drink driving.

Castleford sacked the 2016 Man of Steel after his positive drugs test on the eve of last season’s Grand Final defeat to Leeds.
Speaking at the time of his Warriors switch, Hardaker said: ‘I believe things happen for a reason and now I’m looking forward to this move to Wigan.’
But Wigan said on Thursday: ‘The player is co-operating with the Police investigation. Wigan Warriors will allow the legal process to take its course.’
