SAINTS look set to confirm head coach Kristian Woolf will be staying at the club.

The Tongan national coach has been at the club two years since succeeding Justin Holbrook in 2020, but the option on a third year is in the club's favour.

Chairman Eamonn McManus has given a very strong indication that they will be taking that up.

Woolf is Saints most succesful coach since Daniel Anderson after guiding them to the Grand Final win last year and their first Challenge Cup triumph for 13 years with victory over Castleford at Wembley earlier this month.

Speaking to the Saints podcast, the Saints chairman seemed to declare that an announcement was imminent.

"I think Kristian wants to be with us and we want him to be with us so it's just a matter of dealing with that," McManus  said.

"We'll be announcing something shortly.

"He's laying some building blocks, the team is going through a bit of a transition at the moment and the players really enjoy being coached by Kristian and his team.

"There is more success ahead under Kristian, I've got very little doubt about that.

"We're going to have to work very hard for it but we're pretty confident, going along these lines, with ideas that we have in place for the future, that more trophies should be had by the Saints and that's what we're really all about."
