Noah Stephens

💪 A big, young, bulldozing forward

Noah’s time with the Club began at the age of 15 with our Under 16s setup after he got spotted whilst playing for local community side Pilkington Recs. After impressing with our Scholars, he then moved up into the Academy. In our Under 18s, Noah displayed bursting breaks and bulldozing runs, scoring six tries in the 2023 title-winning campaign, and was selected for the Lancashire Academy Origin side too.

With the likes of Matty Lees and Morgan Knowles to train and play alongside in the senior squad, it was an exciting prospect for the former Pilkington Recs junior to make the step up.

On Friday, 10th May 2024, Stephens made his senior debut for the Club in the Super League against Castleford Tigers in a brilliant 4-60 victory, becoming the 1,287th man to represent St.Helens. During the summer of 2024, Stephens stepped up with his performances, looking to lead from the front with our forward pack down on troops. Stephens gained valuable senior match minutes and proved that not only can he cut it at this level, but he is absolutely one to watch for the future, with some brilliant bulldozing runs against opposing men who are far more senior in experience.

Before the start of the 2025 season, Noah’s longer-term future was secured with the Saints as the impressive young forward agreed to a new four-year deal, keeping him in the Red V until at least the 2028 season, at the Club where he has developed and progressed.

Stephens grabbed his first senior St.Helens try in the final home match of the 2025 Super League season against Castleford Tigers.
