Widnes forward Kenny Baker has signed a new one-year deal with the club for the 2021 season.

The 28-year-old joined the Vikings from North Wales Crusaders ahead of the 2020 campaign, making six appearances for the club.

Baker said: “First of all I would like to thank the fans and everyone at the club for being so welcoming and supportive since I arrived.

“With everything that has happened this year I feel like I owed at least another year to the supporters and everyone at the club, to try and help them get back to where they belong in Super League.

“It feels great to have got this deal over the line, and now my focus is on getting myself ready for when we’re eventually back out there on the field.

“It has been a great challenge for me personally, stepping up to play in the Championship, and I am hoping I can pick up where I left off once we’re back up and running in 2021.

“We all can’t wait to get back out there in front of the supporters, once it is safe to do so, and I’m excited to put on the black and white shirt again next season.”
