Widnes Vikings have boosted their squad with the capture of former Melbourne Storm centre Aaron Moule. The Vikings were dissapointed when Manly scrum-half Jason Ferris suddenly decided against a move to the Tetley's Super League after agreeing terms.

But they have bounced back with the signing of Moule, who quit rugby league temporarily after suffering a groin problem.

A former Grand Final winner with Storm, the highly-rated player had been tipped as a potential Queensland State of Origin player before his injury.
