Another Widnes Vikings star signs new deal

Widnes Vikings have tied down another of their squad members for 2015 and beyond, after Hep Cahill became the latest squad member to sign a new contract with the club.

The 27-year-old has signed on with Denis Betts’ side until the end of the 2016 season, and although injuries have affected his form this year, he insists he can’t wait to focus on his rugby once again, having sorted out the formalities of the contract.

“The contract is done and dusted and I can just focus on the rest of the season and I’m really excited about what’s to come,” he told the club’s official website.

“I’ve had a few games now and I’m getting my match fitness back up. I’m only going to get better and hopefully I’ll move forward with the team and I can’t wait to rip in tonight and for the rest of the season.

“I’ve been here from the start of Super League and I’m part of something special which is being built here by Denis (Betts) at Widnes Vikings. I’m enjoying being here and playing for the club and I think we’ve got a bright future ahead of us.

“The race for the top eight is hotting up now and we have a few teams right behind us, so it’s a good time to be involved. The boys are working hard but we know where we want to be and that’s playoff footy. We know what we have to do to get there and we will give it everything to get there.”
