"The new captain has been a cornerstone of the team during my time in charge and has always led from the front from either 9 or 13 where he always puts in massive performances."

"Last season, he also had a massive influence at the coaching sessions where his enthusiasm and candour were a great support to me and skipper, Nick Hearn."

The Guv's continuing commitment to the club for 2020-2021 is a great boost to our promotion ambitions worthy of our impressive new facility. Liam scored 340 points for The Saints last season, 325 with his boot.

Editor's note: Nick Hearn has stepped down to make way for Liam Sadler. His contribution as the team's leader for the past 5 seasons has been massive and I am sure everyone joins me in thanking him for his enthusiastic commitment during his tenure.
