Club Captain and Testimonial man Matty Lees joins Stuart Pyke for the Saints TV exclusive programme, Sit Down With Saints.
Lees provides an update on his recovery from an MCL injury, explaining that he is focused on a careful rehab process rather than rushing back too soon, even if he wants to try and get back as soon as possible. He shares how frustrating it has been to miss the start of the season, his first as captain, but highlights our squad’s resilience, with a strong mentality developing despite a challenging run of injuries.
The insightful conversation also explores his pride in leading the club, reflecting on what the captaincy means to him and the responsibility of following in the footsteps of past leaders. He discusses his desire to raise standards and continue driving the team forward, both on and off the pitch.
Supporters also get a personal insight into Lees’ journey, from his early days in the game as a Bradford scholarship player and making the move to join St.Helens, to breaking into the Saints First Team. Our #10 also discusses the perspective he has gained from serious injury setbacks earlier in his career and how those experiences have shaped his mindset and appreciation for the game.
There is also discussion around the team, including the impact of our new Head Coach and signings, as well as the emergence of younger players stepping up in difficult circumstances.
Overall, it’s an engaging and revealing chat that gives fans a better understanding of Lees as both a player and a leader. It is a must-watch for any St.Helens supporter.
