St Helens have signed forward Joe Shorrocks on a one-year deal from beleaguered former Super League side Salford Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Shorrocks began his career with Wigan Warriors, where he won the League Leaders’ Shield twice <\/p>\n

The 25-year-old ended the 2025 season on loan with Leeds Rhinos, making two appearances before the conclusion of the campaign.<\/p>\n

“I’ve worked with Rowls [Paul Rowley] for the past two years and with Briersy [Lee Briers] when he was at Wigan, so I know what they expect. They want to win, and that’s what I want too,” he told the club website., external<\/a><\/p>\n

“The way Rowls likes to play suits me; moving the ball and playing an attacking brand of rugby. He’s really helped develop my game, so hopefully we can keep building on that.”<\/p>\n

Shorrocks reached the Super League play-offs with Salford in 2024 as they finished in fourth position. But the club endured a miserable campaign in 2025 because of ongoing financial problems.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Shorrocks racked up 17 appearances for the Red Devils during last season.<\/p>\n

“I’m pleased to welcome Joe to the Saints. He’s a great addition to the squad, both on and off the field, and I’m looking forward to seeing him pull on the Saints jersey,” head coach Rowley added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St Helens have signed forward Joe Shorrocks on a one-year deal from beleaguered former Super League side Salford…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262880,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-262879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
