Wales international Lloyd White has signed a two-year contract extension with Widnes which will keep him at the Vikings until the end of 2018.
The 27-year-old hooker, whose current deal was due to expire at the end of the new season, has scored 117 points in 88 appearances for the Vikings since joining them ahead of the club’s return to First Utility Super League in 2012.
Widnes coach Denis Betts said: “Lloyd has been with us for a long time and every year he is getting better and better.
“He’s on the cusp of fulfilling his potential, he’s had a few injury problems that he’s now got over, and as a player he can be whatever he wants to be.
“He can be one of the best number nines in Super League.”
White said: “The club approached me about a new deal and it was an easy decision to make. My family and I are settled here and the boys are great to be around.”
