Paul Atcherson is listed on Wiki as being born in St Helens, might be worth checking him out incase he was born in Billinge, as he fits the bill playing wise!
He certainly grew up in Billinge.
Wigan-born players who signed for the Saints.

Think Harry Pinner went over at the end of his career but not sure he played for them I think it was as a coach.
