The 29-year-old spent three years with the Newcastle Knights in Australia, and after captaining his country in 2006 was part of the squad who booked their place at the 2008 World Cup.

"We are delighted to have filled our vacant centre slot with a player such as George Carmont, who has played consistently well for the past three years in the NRL," said new Wigan owner Ian Lenagan.

"His tryscoring ability and excellent defensive qualities add value and strength to our back line without breaking the bank."

Carmont is excited about the prospect of playing in England.

"This is a great opportunity for me to join one of the biggest names in world rugby," he said.

"I have spoken to some of the Super League players in the Samoan squad and, in particular (new team-mate) Harrison Hansen, and I am really looking forward to joining Wigan Warriors."

Carmont will join the rest of the Wigan players for pre-season training after Christmas, much to the delight of head coach Brian Noble.

"I know George well and I am delighted to have signed a player of his quality," he added.

"He has been excellent in the NRL for the last couple of years and is a good addition to the Wigan squad."
