Lyons signs new Vikings deal
WIDNES Vikings can confirm that halfback Joe Lyons has signed a new two-year deal with the club to remain at the DCBL Stadium until at least 2023.
Widnes-born Joey began playing rugby with the local Moorfield club before eventually joining the Widnes Scholarship
Programme at the age of 14, and progressing through the club’s Academy structure to captain the Under 19s. Joey made his senior debut in 2018 before spending some time on loan at North Wales Crusaders. He has established a firm partnership with Danny Craven as the halves of Simon Finnigan’s side this season, missing just one game in 2021.
Joe said: “I’m made up to be staying. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. We’ve got a good group of lads here and I’m looking forward to next year already. It was always my dream to play here and to do it week in week out in front of these fans who I used to sit with as a kid, it means a lot.”
