England winger Ade Gardner will return to the St Helens side for their clash with the Bradford Bulls on Sunday.

Gardner, who has been forced to sit our Saints' last four matches to recover from a shoulder injury, will take the place of teenager Johnny Lomax.

"Jonny did well last week but he's only 18 and long term I don't think wing will be his position," St Helens coach Mick Potter said.

The 25-year-old Gardner has scored 134 tries in his St Helens career, including 10 this season before he was injured against Catalans Dragons.

The Super League leaders also welcome back James Roby and James Graham from international duty, meaning prop Jason Cayless is the only unavailable front-line regular.

"I've some pleasant selection headaches this week," Potter added.

St Helens will break the Bulls' own record for consecutive Super League away wins if they are victorious at Grattan Stadium.
