An international outside back and former NRL journeyman has officially put pen to paper, extending his rugby league career for a few more seasons.
Last seen in the NRL in 2020, Papua New Guinea international Nene Macdonald has signed with St Helens in the Super League for the next two seasons, running until the end of 2027, following a two-year tenure with the Salford Red Devils.
Reuniting with coach Paul Rowley, Macdonald is known for his dynamic and entertaining play style as an outside back, demonstrating versatility across various positions. He comes with close to 100 NRL first-grade appearances under his belt.
"I can't wait. When I first came over to England, Saints were winning everything and known for being such a huge club, so to be able to come and join a big club with such history is really exciting," he told saintsrlfc.com.
"It feels like a fresh start with the new coach and new players, big players too, and I'm looking forward to helping get Saints back on top.
"I try to bring that little bit of x-factor, something out of nothing, and I'm really excited to go and prove myself in the Saints jersey.
"I know how massive and important the club is to the town, so I'll be going hard to give my absolute best for the fans."
