St Helens second-rower Jake Davies has signed a new two-year deal with the Super League club.
The 19-year-old joined Saints from local side Halton Farnworth Hornets, and, after a spell on loan at Swinton Lions, stepped up to the first-team squad last season.
He made his Super League debut in September and seized his chance this season due to injuries in the squad, scoring a try in each of his past three matches in all competitions.
"I've been given a lot more game time than I might have expected at the start of the year, but as long as I'm playing, I'm happy," he told the club website, external.
"I have to stay hard-working and diligent and you'll get there in the end if you deserve it. That's kind of what I've been telling myself and pushing myself to do since joining the club."
Saints head coach Paul Rowley said: "It's fantastic news for the club that another young man has come through our development conveyor belt."
