Widnes Vikings can confirm that Will Roberts’ loan with the club has been extended until the end of the season.
The young halfback has impressed in recent fixtures, kicking six goals from seven and registering one assist in the Vikings’ games against Doncaster and Bradford.
St Helens will hold a recall clause.
Head Coach Allan Coleman said: “It’s superb news for us. I think Will’s been brilliant since he’s come in.
“With Dec Patton back playing and Tom Gilmore not far away, it’s vital we have options in the halves and people playing for jerseys.
“I think he’s shown he’s more than capable of playing at this level, and I’m just surprised he’s not played at Super League yet with the quality he’s got.”
