Widnes Vikings can confirm that Will Roberts’ loan with the club has been extended until the end of the month.
Having initially joined the club on a two-week loan from St Helens, he featured in our victory over Toulouse at the end of June.
The young halfback picked up an ankle injury in that game and, as a result, was forced to sit out the Vikings’ trip to Oldham a fortnight ago.
Having now recovered from injury, he returns to the club and will be eligible for our remaining July Fixtures against Doncaster and Bradford.
Head Coach Allan Coleman said: “It’s great to get Will back in, a big thanks to Saints for letting us have him. I think they can see that playing for us is great for him and his development.
“It’ll be another new halfback partnership for us this week with him and Dec Patton, who’s back now. But we’re confident they can do the job for us.
“I think he showed in the 50 minutes he played against Toulouse, how capable a player he is, so I’m really excited to see how he goes again.”
The Vikings take on Doncaster at the DCBL Stadium this Sunday. Tickets are available HERE.
