HULL FC forward Jed Cartwright, the son of Catalans coach John, has joined St Helens on loan with a view to staying on.
Speaking in a Saints media release, the 29-year-old said: “I’m really excited. Saints is one of the teams you always hear about back in Australia. It just shows how successful the club is, and I couldn’t be more excited or happy to be joining
“I’ve played against StvHelens a couple of times and watched a lot of their games. The fans are really passionate and seem to live and breathe rugby. I’m ready to come over, give my all and hopefully make a good impression
“I want to bring impact and energy. I’m a very competitive person, and I pride myself on giving everything every week. That’s what I’ll be bringing with me.”
Cartwright, who has played 23 games since joining the Airlei Birds in 2024, has previously played alongside new team-mates Jacob Host and Daniel Suluka-Fifita at South Sydney.
“When we found out that Jed was available, it was a no-brainer for us,” said Saints coach Paul Rowley.
“We’re obviously short on troops, so the opportunity to bring someone of Jed’s quality on board was too good to miss.
“We’re really appreciative of Hull FC’s cooperation and look forward to seeing Jed in a Saints shirt.”
