Aussie rugby league star Tristan Sailor is gearing up for the start of the Super League season with St Helens following his move to Europe this summer.
The new St Helens signing is the son of Wendell Sailor, the prolific Australian winger who was top try-scorer and player of the tournament when his country won the World Cup in 2000.

‘To have the opportunity to explore the UK and Europe while also being able to pursue my dream of footy, it is pretty special,’ says Sailor, who has set up home in Manchester.
