“I’m really looking forward to what we can achieve in the future,” Gresham said.

“Everyone at the Saints, including the fans, really embraced me as soon as I walked through the door, so it was an easy decision to recommit with the club.

“I love the direction we’re heading, and I rapt to be a part of it for the long term.”

“Jade is a key part of a strong nucleus of young talent on our list, and his signature demonstrates great faith in what we are building at the club.”
