2021 First Team Stats
Morgan Knowles is one of the unsung heroes of the Saints pack.
He had breakthrough season in 2016, playing 24 games, to become a first team regular in the process.
The skillful back-rower signed for the club from Barrow Island and made his debut for Saints and Wales in 2015.
He showed massive commitment as a 16-year-old to the club travelling down from Cumbria for Scholarship sessions each week.
He can play at loose forward and hooker, as well as in the back row – and that versatility saw him appear 30 times for Saints in 2017 and three times for Wales in the Rugby League World Cup.
In 2018 he continued to show his maturity, becoming one of the mainstays of Justin Holbrook’s side as they challenged on all fronts.
2019 was an even better year for Morgan who was named in the Super League Dream Team after a stellar season in the Red Vee. His work rate was often credited by Justin Holbrook and ‘Morgz’ also scored some crucial tries including in the Grand Final victory over Salford.
Knowles looked even better in 2020 as his energy and power in the forwards played a crucial part in Saints back to back success. His performances earnt him the Saints Player of the Year Award and he was also named in the Super League Dream Team for the second successive season.
