Reihana joined Saints from Waikato midway through 2002/03

The New Zealander, who has scored 49 tries in 141 appearances, committed his future to the club until at least 2010.

With more than 700 points overall, he will be a key figure in their expected return to the Guinness Premiership from National League One next season.

"I wanted to stay here and help get the club back to where it should be," he said. "I'm looking forward to it."
