Lyon signs with St Helens
Jamie Lyon has officially signed with the English Super League club St Helens for the next two years.
St Helens coach Ian Millward described the signing as the biggest since the club signed Mal Meninga.
The story "quoted" Lyon as saying: "I am raring to play for the Saints, particularly as I will be linking up with Darren Albert, the quickest winger in the British game. St Helens impressed me by their clear ambition to remain a leading world rugby force and they stood out from all the Clubs which showed interest in me, even in Australia."
1Eyed Eel recalls Lyon saying in an audio interview on the official Eels site at the start of this year that he was raring to play, too.
