Josh Jones leaves rugby league

Josh Jones has left St Helens to move to a rugby union side on a two-year deal.

Exeter Chiefs have signed the player, and Jones, 22, is excited about the move.

“I can’t explain how excited I am about the move,” he said.

“It’s a new challenge for me and my family, but it’s one that we’re all really looking forward to.

“Exeter are a great club, they’ve just come off the back of a fantastic season, and having watched them a few times on the TV, I like the style of rugby they play and the way they go about things.

“Hopefully I can go down there, add a bit to the squad using my experience from playing Super League and look to make my mark as quickly as possible.”
