Our new Tongan Powerhouse, Agnatius Paasi has arrived in St Helens and has already started pre-season training with Saints and despite the cold weather, ‘Iggy’ admits the Club feels like ‘home’ and can’t wait to get going before hopefully meeting the fans!
The Saints sealed the signature of Paasi last year ahead of the 2021 season and he now joins Joel Thompson in the UK who started his personal pre-season work at Saints before Christmas. Dan Norman is also now settling in to life in St Helens whilst our final recruit Sione Mata’utia is hoping to land in the coming weeks ahead of the new season.

We caught up with Paasi ahead of his first field session with the Saints this week to check in with him on life in St Helens, the cold weather, what the fans can expect from him and the season ahead!
