Widnes Vikings winger Paddy Flynn has signed a two-year contract extension which will keep him at the Stobart Stadium until the end of 2014.

The 24-year-old has scored 55 tries in 89 appearances for the Vikings, including six in eight Stobart Super League matches this year, since making his debut four years ago.

Widnes coach Denis Betts said: "I'm thrilled for Paddy and I'm thrilled for the club.

"He has been exceptional for us this year and really knuckled down and worked hard. For someone who has only been full-time for such a short time, he has come on leaps and bounds."

Flynn said: "When they told me they were keen to keep hold of me for the next couple of years, I was pleased to accept their offer.

"I've really enjoyed the past four years at the club and I couldn't have wished for it to have gone any better."
