The 22-year-old becomes Rovers' second acquisition in 24 hours following the recruitment of winger or full-back Ian Hardman on loan from St Helens, although they have released utility back Pat Weisner.

Hill joined Wigan last May on a two-and-a-half-year contract and has made five substitute appearances so far this season.

"Danny's work ethic is second to none," said coach Justin Morgan. "He will add strength to our pack and I'm confident he is the type of team player that will gel well with the rest of the boys.

"There's no doubt he will add a bit of variety to our game and give us more options to work with."

Both Hill and Hardman have been named in Morgan's initial 20-man squad for Sunday's game at Bradford.

Hardman is likely to be a straight replacement for winger Byron Ford, who sustained knee ligament damage in the derby defeat by Hull, while Hill is set to take the place of Chris Chester, who has a shoulder injury.

Rovers welcome back Australian forward Mark O'Neill, who has made only one appearance due to injury since joining the club from Leeds in the winter.

Meanwhile, Weisner is set to link up with former Rovers team-mate Michael Smith at National League club Barrow after being released from his contract.

The 25-year-old signed a 12-month deal after joining the Robins initially on loan from Harlequins towards the end of last season but has made only two substitute appearances so far this year.
