St Helens second row Andrew Dixon has signed a new three-year deal at Knowsley Road.

The 19-year-old made his debut for the Super League leaders in their 20-19 defeat by Hull KR on 27 February.

"Andrew has taken his opportunities when they have been presented," said Saints chief executive Tony Colquitt.

"He is a committed and talented member of the first-team squad, has a good attitude to learn from those around him and works hard."

Dixon, who has missed the last three months with a wrist injury, is the club's third youngster to sign a new deal in recent weeks after Matty Ashurst and Gary Wheeler agreed fresh terms.
