St Helens have re-signed scrum-half Matty Smith from Super League champions Wigan Warriors on a three-year deal.

Smith, who was contracted to Wigan until 2018, came through Saints' academy but left for Salford in 2011 in search of regular first-team games.


The 29-year-old joined Wigan a year later and won two Grand Finals and a Challenge Cup with the Warriors.

"I am thrilled and honoured to be back at my hometown team," Smith told Saints' website.

"It should be a seamless transition as I have come through the system at Saints and know the key staff and players as well as the club's culture."

Smith, who led Wigan onto the pitch in their Grand Final victory over Warrington on Saturday, is St Helens' third new signing for 2017 following the captures of Luke Douglas and Ryan Morgan.

New Zealand half-back Thomas Leuluai will rejoin Wigan for next season while the Warriors have also signed France full-back Morgan Escare.

Paasi to move to a merrin/taumololo type 13?

probably not yet, match fitness has always been an issue with him too.

Had to laugh at the recent article Fox put out, stating that Zillman would see out the final year of his 5 year deal worth $650k a season. What on earth was Searle & Cartwright thinking at the time? o_O

He's a smarter tradesman than Smith, Cronk and Thurston, paid twice as much per minute played is not too shabby

Adam Reynolds re-signs with SOUTHS until end of 2021.

Some very very good re-signings happening this last week.

That'll put an end to the silly rumours that he's not happy lol.

No reason for Adam to leave, whenever he's unhappy he'll just take the weekend off

The thing with taylor there is no evidence he can get his act together

With BJ there was some evidence that under a strict coach who will make him eat his vegetables and really mother him he would perform well. He had a great season at newie with Bennett as coach

But taylor has dossed around under every coach he has had. I mean he has loads of x factor if he could be arsed having a crack but hes lazy and a f**kwit

Edit

That said what do we have to lose. Its only a trial deal. If he stinks it up and doesnt put in he gets told to take a hike
