A product of the Warrington Academy, he has gained a wealth of experience at reserve level and featured against the Vikings in our pre-season victory against the Wire in January.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid winger also gained valuable first-team experience on loan with Swinton Lions last season, making 15 appearances for the Manchester club, scoring five tries.<\/p>\n<p>On signing for the club, Sergent said: \u201cI\u2019m really happy to be here. I\u2019ve had some great chats with Allan, and it made me quickly realise I want to be part of this team and what they\u2019re doing moving forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cObviously, a lot of last season I played at Swinton, so I\u2019m hoping to build on that experience. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cPlaying in this league is really physical, so bringing the ball out of the back field is really important, and hopefully I can bring some speed and agility to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sergent enjoyed a strong end to the campaign for Swinton, scoring three tries in his final four games for the Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Head Coach Allan Coleman commented: \u201cWe need to focus on developing and nurturing young talent and Frank is certainly a talented player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cHe showed last year on loan at Swinton how dangerous he can be in this league, so he really excites us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the Vikings, Frank. We can\u2019t wait to cheer you and the rest of the team on next year!<\/p>\n<p>Signings like this are assisted by the fantastic Widnes VIPS scheme in place to assist in strengthening the Vikings\u2019 squad.
