St Helens winger Adam Swift has signed a new two-year contract ahead of his 100th appearance for the club.

The 24-year-old has scored 73 tries in his 99 appearances, including a hat-trick on his debut against Widnes five years ago.

Saints coach Keiron Cunningham said: “It’s good that Adam has committed his immediate future to the club. He is continuing to mature every year and that is down to his hard work and dedication.

“His try-scoring is there for all to see but he works hard with the ball in hand too, giving us go forward with his carries. We’re looking forward to seeing him develop further.”

Swift, a member of St Helens’ Grand Final-winning team in 2014, has recovered from the injury that forced him to miss his team’s’ defeat at Salford last Thursday and he will make his 100th appearance against Huddersfield on Friday.

“I’m delighted to have committed my future for the next two seasons,” Swift said.

“It’s great to be playing for my home-town club and one I have watched since being a kid.

“I want to continue to work hard and improve and I look forward to kicking on and hopefully achieving more silverware with the club.”
