Bryn was aged just 36 when he sadly died three years ago after going missing from his home in the USA.

As a player the industrious prop forward played 115 times for Saints after being recruited from Wigan by Daniel Anderson at the end of the 2006 season.

Bryn was the starting prop in Saints’ Wembley win over Hull FC in 2008 and played in three Grand Final defeats – including his last game in the red vee in 2010 – before joining Bradford Bulls.

He called time early on his rugby league career and emigrated to America.
