Saints defender to step away from footy

Veteran Saints defender Dylan Roberton is considering retirement as he steps away from footy due to health concerns.

The 29-year-old has only played one game in three years after collapsing on the field due to an irregular heart beat in 2018.

In a statement the Saints said Roberton has the full support of the club and will assess his options in the coming weeks.

We’re all behind you, Dyl 👊
