Is he a pie eater? he played for Shevington then Blackbrook?
Brilliant news hoping we can have Welsby, Simm and Todd in our back line in the next couple of seasons. My gut feeling is that Welsby with a bit more beef on the bone could be a very good ball playing loose forward very intelligent player.
Welsby & Bentley for me kicked on a bit last year.
Made up for the lad, plenty of promise for the future. Well done Jack.

Nice news and a good prospect. Great to see Saints continue to develop from within for the present and future. Over the coming years I still think we'll benefit from some new signings - at the same time I'm really encouraged to see the club invest in home/club grown talent.
All the best Jack and look forward to see your progress over the coming years.
Good news.
BBC says ""I'm made up," said the St Helens-born half-back, who can also play at full back and centre. "It's a great lift.""
Wiki says he was born in Blackbrook ()
Star/Reporter doesn't give a birth place, but says he played at Shevington then Blackbrook before signing for Saints
You only have to listen to his accent to know where he’s from.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Great news as others have said.
It'd be wrong to put pressure on a young player but I've got a good feeling about Welsby. Very natural rugby player with good vision and his height and speed will make him stand out and be difficult to stop when he fills out. He reminds of me of Leon Pryce / Jake Connor in the way he plays the game.
Still got a fair way to go but with Richardson leaving he will have more opportunities to play and gain experience. He couldn't be learning off better players in Lomax and Coote.

Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
We have plenty of loose forwards I think Welsby will be sensational in the backs
Does anyone know where Paul Sculthorpes lad ended up?He was on Saints books then went to Wigan. Don't here anything of him now.
Rogues... Nice of you to remind us that you beat us with a weakened team.
