Saints die-hards buy trophy to give departing Wilko a memento

Saints die-hards buy trophy to give departing Wilko a memento

FORMER Saints skipper Jon Wilkin may be heading across the Atlantic to Toronto Wolfpack for 2019.

But the veteran has been presented with a memento by a section of Saints die-hards for him to remember his time at the club over the past 15 years.

The former Great Britain and England back-rower joined the club as a 19-year-old and featured in two Grand Final successes, four Challenge Cup wins and a World Club Challenge triumph.

Wilkin skippered Saints too until the role was taken over by James Roby in 2018.

To commemorate his time at the club, the travelling Saints supporters who are regulars on 'Coaches 1 and 2' have presented Jon with a memento.

Supporter Maureen Marsh presented Jon with his award on behalf of the fans who travel on the coaches, who made contributions in cash towards the trophy.
