These young men have already begun work in our development Scholarship programme which runs for two years.
Last month, St.Helens confirmed fourteen of our Scholars had graduated to step up into the Saints Academy for the next two years and joining our Under 18’s squad. This year, our Academy enjoyed a remarkable campaign that ended with Grand Final glory to be named 2023 Under 18’s Academy Champions!
Our latest Under 16’s developing talents will be introduced to the crowd at the Saints’ first home in the Betfred Super League 2024 season.
Saints Performance Manager, Neil Kilshaw told saintslfc.com: “On behalf of everyone associated with the Saints, we are thrilled to introduce our latest group of Scholarship players, who have already begun their work both on and off the field. The Scholarship programme for the next two years will aim not only make these young men better players, but better people too.
“As ever, our thanks go out to all the community clubs for their continued and fantastic co-operation.”
