“I’ve worked with Rowls [Paul Rowley] for the past two years and with Briersy [Lee Briers] when he was at Wigan, so I know what they expect. They want to win, and that’s what I want too.

“The way Rowls likes to play suits me, moving the ball and playing an attacking brand of Rugby. He’s realty helped develop my game, so hopefully we can keep building on that.”

Saints boss Paul Rowley added: “I’m pleased to welcome Joe to the Saints. He’s a great addition to the squad, both on and off the field, and I’m looking forward to seeing him pull on the Saints jersey.”
