St Helens have announced that full-back Jonny Lomax has signed a new four-year contract with the club.

Since making his debut against Wakefield, the 28-year old has made 188 appearances for the Saints over a ten-year period, scoring over 500 points.

He will now remain at the Totally Wicked Stadium until the conclusion of the 2022 campaign.

On signing the new deal, Lomax said: “Obviously I am made up to have re-signed for the team I have supported and followed from a young age in the stands.

“Growing up, it was a dream to play for the club and I have been able to live that dream for the last 10 years, culminating in a testimonial, and will now be able to continue it for a further three years.

“My career has had its up and downs, but hopefully we can now add to the good times in the pursuit of trophies this year and beyond as we look to build on 2018.

“I’m really happy to be a part of this great group and the more we can keep it together the better it will be moving forward.”

Head Coach Justin Holbrook said: “It’s more fantastic news for our club. Jonny is coming into his best years as a rugby league player.

“He looks very determined, as ever, to have a big season after a terrific year last year.

“He is a very hard worker and a deep thinker of the game. He is an absolute professional how he goes about his business and it’s another great boost to have such a quality player commit to the club long-term.”
