Outside back Jon Bennison will leave St Helens at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old product of the Saints academy will end his time at the club wearing the Red V after he was this week recalled from a loan spell at Widnes Vikings.

Bennison has scored 27 tries and kicked 22 goals in 68 appearances for Saints, and was a regular player in the side which won a fourth consecutive Super League title, soring tries in both the play-off semi-final and Grand Final.

The versatile Bennison was also a member of the travelling squad which won the 2023 World Club Challenge.

He was recalled from his six-match stay at his hometown side Widnes, in which he scored two tries, before the Super League meeting with Leigh Leopards on Friday, but did not make the matchday squad.

Saints head coach Paul Wellens told the club website: “Jon’s impact on the team has been nothing but positive ever since he walked through the door.

“He has always set a really high standard in terms of effort and consistency, and day to day I see how much he is admired and respected by everyone, but most importantly his team-mates.”
