“We’ve got some outstanding fullback and centre options for next season too, so if I can get in the team ahead of them or filling in for injuries or suspensions, I’ll be happy to take every opportunity as it comes and do my job for the team.”
Speaking on the re-signing, Head Coach Daryl Powell added: “Sticks has been our most improved player I think, he has slotted in and been as consistent as ever.
