North Wales Crusaders are delighted to announce a new two-year-deal for Josh Eaves, seeing him extend his stay in North Wales until the end of the 2027 season.

A product of the St’ Helens academy system, and with Super League appearances to his name, Eaves has also featured on loan at Whitehaven followed by moves to Newcastle and Swinton respectively before linking up with Carl Forster’s side this season.

Having never dropped below the Championship before this season, Eaves has played a pivotal role in North Wales’ rise to the top of Betfred League One so far in 2025, leading to a new two-year-deal being signed.

On Eaves’ new deal, Crusaders head coach Carl Forster, said: “With clubs now allowed to speak to played in the final year of their contracts, it’s been important for us to begin the conversations with our lads.

“Josh is an outstanding player, he may not always grab the headlines, but both on and off the field he’s a vital piece of the puzzle and his ability to move us around the field is second to none.

“I’m delighted that Josh has extended his stay here by a further two years, and I’m confident that together we can achieve some great things.”
