Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook has signed a contract extension that will keep him at St Helens for a 10th consecutive season.

The 32-year-old forward has been one of Saints' most popular players since joining from Harlequins in 2011.

He has signed a deal that will keep him in a St Helens shirt until the end of the 2020 season.

"To spend 10 years at this club will be something special," he said. "It is a privilege to have been here for so long and an honour considering I am not from the area.

"I am really looking forward to hopefully celebrating a testimonial here and more importantly, winning silverware."
