Peachey will join Widnes after 12 years with the Cronulla Sharks
|
Australian full-back David Peachey has confirmed he will still join Widnes despite their relegation.
The former Australia international is thought to have taken a pay cut to play in the National League.
But the 31-year-old said: "I always had an ambition to play in England after 12 years with the Cronulla Sharks.
"As a boy, I developed an interest in Widnes and I am showing my commitment to the club. I want to take this club back to its most successful days."
Peachey agreed to join the club in June in a two-year deal partly funded by Vikings' fans.
He added: "I really appreciate the club, fans and sponsors' support and I can't wait to arrive at my new home in Widnes with my partner later this year."
