The 21-year-old was set to stay with the Black and Whites for the remainder of the season but Kristian Woolf has moved to bolster his squad after seeing Saints hit by injuries.

Simm made a positive impression following his arrival in early July, marking his debut with an important try in the win over Hull KR at Magic Weekend.
