THEO Fages, who has signed a new deal at Saints, has become a firm fans favourite since signing from Salford Red Devils in 2015.
The news of him signing on for another two years will give Saints stability going forward as they seek to win their first major trophy since 2014.
📹 After his brief visit to the Saints Superstore, we sat down with @tfages to reflect on his new Saints deal … 🇫🇷

Yet again @Saints1890 are leading the way in terms of retaining their best talent whilst other clubs are struggling to hold on.

Makinson, Lomax, Roby, Grace and now Fages all signed new deals this year. Walmsley last year.
Thompson and Holbrook next please🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Whilst I do think there are better halves out there, Fages compliments our squad really well in the way that he does his job every week in a key position whilst not carrying an ego or demanding plaudits. Keeping him is a wise decision. https://t.co/RzPpS8rBKi

I am delighted that @Saints1890 managed to complete this signing. He is a hard working player, who takes on the line, and is excellent in defence. Good partner to @lomax_1990 and they are a double strike pairing
