Released St Helens forward follows teammate and signs for new club

Released St Helens forward Alfie Sinclair has signed a one-year deal with Championship side Halifax Panthers. The 22-year-old prop joins former Saints teammate Leon Cowen, who made the switch to the Panthers in October after both players were confirmed to be leaving the Super League club in September.

Sinclair made five senior appearances for St Helens, debuting in the Challenge Cup in 2025 before making his Super League debut against Toulouse Olympique in March. He also brings Championship experience to Halifax following loan spells with Whitehaven and Swinton Lions.
