A knee injury forced Lloyd White to pull out of Wales squad ahead of last year's European Championships

Widnes Vikings hooker Lloyd White has signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the Super League club until the end of the 2018 season.

Wales captain White, 27, has made 88 appearances for the Vikings, joining the club on their return to the top flight in 2012.

"Every year he is getting better and better," head coach Denis Betts said.

"He's on the cusp of fulfilling his potential. He can be one of the best number nines in Super League."
