Sydney Roosters winger Lewis Murphy has confirmed his departure from the club at the end of the season and which team he will be playing for in the 2025 season.
Signing with the Sydney Roosters from the Wakefield Trinity, the 22-year-old Murphy was hoping to break into the first-grade team but has instead spent his time in the NSW Cup and Ron Massey Cup for the Glebe Dirty Reds and spent several weeks on the sidelines with injury.
Still young, the winger has yet to reach his potential, but due to the Roosters’ depth in the backline, he has continually been overlooked in favour of other choices.
This has seen him confirm his return home to England, where he has signed a two-year contract with St Helens RLFC in the Super League until at least the end of the 2026 season.
“I am so excited to be coming to join St.Helens, but I am excited to showcase all I’ve learned and how I’ve developed as a player by being over here [Australia] too. I’m really keen to get playing some good rugby with Saints, can’t wait,” he told saintsrlfc.com.
“When I first spoke to Wello [Wellens] and Mike [Rush] they were really welcoming and nice, and I can’t wait to meet up in person.
“As soon as I spoke to Wello he told me straight that at this club, we compete for silverware every year and we need to be up for every single trophy, and I’m ready for that – it’s what I want to do.”
