Saints Scholars welcomed to the Field at Season Opener

At half time of St.Helens 2025 Betfred Super League Round One fixture against Salford Red Devils, together we formally welcomed our latest recruits to the Saints' Scholarship System.

As has become a tradition at our First Team’s home Season Opener, our Under 15s who were signed up to the Club’s Scholarship programme back in September, alongside fellow young talents that were recruited to the programme during last season, were introduced together on the pitch to over 12,000 people at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

The Saints faithful gave a great reception as each of the young men’s names were read out, before being photographed by Club Photographer Bernard Platt, and then together they were together for a big team photo in front of the West Stand.
