St Helens forward Morgan Knowles has signed a new two-year deal with the club.

The 24-year-old has scored 20 tries in 130 games for Saints since making his first team debut in 2015. He has earned four caps for Wales but has recently switched his allegiance to England.

Knowles said: “I am delighted to have signed a new deal. I have been at this club since I was 15 and I have loved every minute of it.

“2019 was a great year for me and more importantly, the club and I am now really excited about the future.

“I want to thank everyone at the club including head coach Kristian Woolf and the fans for their support. My focus now is ending 2020 with another Super League Grand Final ring.”

Saints coach Kristian Woolf said: “We are delighted Morgan has re-signed with us.

“He is a terrific competitor and has a great skill set and I love his work ethic and his desire to be better as a player.

“He is a young guy, but is already in our leadership group and that is because he leads by example so well and he is a guy that we see as a real leader and possibly a future captain of the club.”
