He is as fit and as motivated as he has ever been, and I have no doubt that he will lead our club with continuing distinction over the next three seasons.
We are more than fortunate to have had James at St Helens for the last dozen years and it’s fantastic news that he’s dedicated himself to us and to Super League for another three.”
