St Helens have signed hooker Tom Forber from arch-rivals Wigan Warriors on a three-year deal.
The 23-year-old came through the Wigan academy and won the 2024 League Leaders’ Shield and Super League title with the club, featuring in the Grand Final victory over Hull KR.
He spent last season away from the Brick Community Stadium though, having loan spells at Castleford Tigers, Barrow and Oldham.
Forber adds competition for places at a new-look St Helens, who also acquired fellow hooker Tom Starling on a three-year contract from National Rugby League side Canberra Raiders last month.
“I’m buzzing, I didn’t realise how quickly it was all going to happen,” Forber told Saints’ website., external
“There’s going to be some great competition. We’re all trying to make each other better, and everyone gets on really well. It’s good, healthy competition.”
