โItโs terrific for us to acquire Jackโs services and add another dynamic mid/forward to our list,โ Saints list manager James Gallagher said.
โHeโs a player with incredible enthusiasm and weโre really excited to see what he can bring in his new colours along with Brad Crouch and Shaun McKernan.
โAs Jack was under contract at Richmond before requesting a trade, it was incumbent on us to facilitate a trade that suited both parties.โ
Higgins stated his excitement to join the club.
โItโs amazing to join the Saints next year and I really canโt wait to get started,โ Higgins said.
โI grew up barracking for the Saints, so it really is a dream come true to represent the club.
โIโm really keen to meet my new teammates and be part of the Saints moving forward, because theyโre definitely heading somewhere pretty special.โ
