Hide AdOn the appointment, chief executive Kris Radlinski said: “As the game moves into the critical period where we will work closely with IMG to build the profile of the sport, it makes sense to utilise probably the most famous player the game has seen.
“Martin will work closely with me and our commercial partners to build the profile of the club and its players.
“I will manage Martin’s calendar in Wigan to make sure we efficiently use him in different departments.
"We will be welcoming him to the game on Friday against St Helens and Wigan fans can expect to see a lot more of him around the place.”
Offiah’s role at the club will include sustainability projects, helping build player profiles and using his many contacts he has built up down the years.
