In November 2006, Tyrer was promoted to train with the St. Helens first team squad. Tyrer made a big impact on the first team squad in 2007, making a try scoring home début against Bradford, his strong running and goal kicking ability cemented his place as one of the games brightest prospects. Having made a significant contribution in Saints early win over Batley in the Challenge Cup, Tyrer was given a place in the squad for the first final at the new Wembley, although he did not take part in the match, he did receive a competition winner's medal. Having played his first full season as number 24, Tyrer was given the number 22 jersey for the 2008 Super League season.
