\u201cI\u2019ve been fortunate to learn from some outstanding coaches and teammates throughout my career, and I\u2019m excited to apply those lessons in a new way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having grown up in Saints\u2019 heartland, Shiel joins an experienced coaching group as he transitions into the next phase of his football journey.<\/p>\n
