After a quarter of a century on these shores, Smith revealed earlier this year that he and his wife are emigrating to Indonesia in order to be closer to their children in Australia.
A large part of what has been a glittering stint in British rugby league was spent at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, guiding The Wire to three Challenge Cup titles in four years in 2009, 2010 and 2012 as well as League Leaders’ Shield wins in 2011 and 2016 and the club’s first two appearances in the Super League Grand Final.
Smith and members of the 2009 squad that ended the club’s 35-year trophy drought will be present at a special event on Wednesday, April 15, to relive historic moments, tell behind-the-scenes stories and celebrate a defining era in the club’s history.
Hosted by Pete Emmett in The Halliwell Jones Stadium’s 40/Twenty Lounge, the event also forms part of the club’s 150th anniversary celebrations with all funds raised to contribute towards extending the South Stand heritage timeline as well as supporting the Warrington Wolves Foundation.
Tickets are priced at £20, with more information on how to purchase available on the club website. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
