Jonny Lomax

Jonny is a full back who can virtually play in any ‘back’ position.

He broke into the first team squad in 2011 – after making his debut at Wakefield in 2009 – and made his selection a foregone conclusion for the rest of the season playing in the 2011 Grand Final.

Lightning quick off the mark and a great rugby league brain, his performances led him to be selected for the England Knights and then the full Elite train on squad.

Unfortunately, he missed out on the Four Nations with ankle ligament damage and another injury curtailed his chances in the 2012 Autumn International series.

In 2013 he made the full back position his own and immediately established himself as one of the best in the competition.

His last three campaigns have been dogged by injury but in 2016 he made a welcome return in an emotional home game against Leeds. The rest of the season saw him become the comp’s best fullback and he was rewarded by playing four times in for England.

19 games followed in 2017 and he played for England in the Rugby League World Cup.

2018 saw Lomax switched to stand-off and he was stellar, earning a call up to the England side once more for the 2018 Test series with New Zealand as well as the Dream Team.

2019 was a stand-out year for Lomax. Not only did he become a father and enjoy a well-earned Testimonial, but he starred in the halves and led Saints to Grand Final glory. He scored 19 times in 30 appearances and set up a further 21 scores. His form earned him another spot in the Super League Dream Team whilst he walked away with the three main honours at the club awards night. Jonny was also named Albert Goldthorpe Winner and represented Great Britain on their first tour since 2013.

Last season again saw Lomax pull the strings in the halves as he topped the Super League charts for try assists in 2020 earning him a Dream Team inclusion.
