Four of St Helens' youngsters have extended their contracts at the club, delighting head coach Keiron Cunningham.
Calvin Wellington and Regan Grace have joined Ricky Bailey and Jake Spedding in signing deals that will take them to the end of the 2017 season.
And Cunningham said: "We're delighted that these four players have agreed contracts with us. They are dedicated youngsters who, if they continue to keep their head down and work hard, could go very far in the game.
"Calvin made his debut at the Magic Weekend and has been playing well in the reserves competition. To see his journey from Wales to where he is now is testament to his character and the hard work of the academy staff.
"Likewise, Regan Grace is another player who is dedicated to his craft. He is an absolute flyer and if he continues to work hard could be very special indeed.
"Ricky has played well in the reserves and 19s competitions and adds leadership to those sides whilst centre Jake Spedding is another talented player.
"His debut against Warrington this season was excellent and he didn't look out of place."
