St.Helens R.F.C. is delighted to announce that England international prop Alex Walmsley has signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the Club until at least the end of the 2026 season!
Widely regarded as one of the best forwards not just in Betfred Super League, but in all-world rugby league, Walmsley has been an outstanding servant to the Saints over twelve seasons since joining the Club ahead of the 2013 campaign.
This contract extension will take the Saints’ number #8 into his fourteenth season in the famous Red V, and further cement his legacy as one of our club’s best-ever forwards.
The 6ft 5’ powerhouse made his St.Helens debut in a home fixture against Hull FC in 2013 and since then has gone on to make 278 appearances for the Club to date, scoring 51 tries for a total point tally of 204 so far.
As an integral part of the Saints’ success, ‘Big Al’ has earned; five Super League championships, four League Leaders’ Shields, a Challenge Cup, and a World Club Challenge – the latest trophy he has added to his astonishing record of silverware.
Personal honours also include six appearances for England, four for Great Britain, and four Super League Dream Team selections. As is expected in such an impressive player, plenty of interest from other clubs has been expressed to acquire Alex’s services, and this continues to be the case, but both the Saints and Walmsley have been keen to ensure his future remains in the Red V.
