Coach, Skinny McKinney, contacted the Saints Newsroom this morning with the news that talented scrum-half, Joshua Stead, has joined his senior squad for the 2018-19 North One West League campaign.

On joining, Stead said, "It is an exciting time down at Anselmians with all the developments that are happening at the club. After watching the play off game for promotion last year, it was clear what a close knit bunch of lads that this squad is and I knew I wanted to be a part of that."

"After seeing the expansion of the squad over the summer, it is clear that this team has the ability to push towards the top end of this league, and I hope that I can add to the strength and depth of the squad and personally perform well to help push for back to back promotions."
