HOMETOWN HERO PENS EXTENSION

Modern day Giants Legend Leroy Cudjoe pens an extension that will see him remain a Giant until the end of 2025.

After another stellar season in the Claret and Gold, Leroy Cudjoe remains a Giant for his 17th professional season after debuting back in 2008.

Since then, the utility man has provided value and quality to the Giants wherever he has played on the pitch, amassing over 350 professional appearances and 135 tries for Huddersfield.

A model professional, Leroy always gives his all for the badge, and is someone who many young Giants reference when coming through the Giants pathway system.

Leroy commented on extending his stay at the Giants.

"I am delighted to have re-signed again for 2025, Mentally and physically I feel really good so the decision to carry on playing was an easy one. I’m honoured to be able to wear the shirt of my hometown club for another season and very determined to help the club improve and reach its potential.

"The year hasn’t gone as we’d expected which is very disappointing, but the focus now is to finish the year off well. 
I’d like to thank the club for getting the deal done, the fans and sponsors for always sticking by us and hope we can finish the year off well for you."

Luke Robinson also discussed Leroy's extension.

"Leroy epitomises everything we want a Giant to be, hard work dedication and most importantly loyalty, he genuinely cares about the club and the people within it.

"Whether it be educating and assisting the young lads on in the first team, the academy or the scholarship lads, he is always giving up his spare time to make the individual and the club better.

"For me it's like he's already coaching on and off the field, it's crucial you have leaders like that within the group.

"Leroy has re-invented himself within the past years from being an international centre and winger, to now a ball playing loose forward guiding his team around the field, this is a testament to Leroy and how hard he's pushed himself."

Leroy Cudjoe adds his name to our 2025 squad which includes the likes of exciting talent such as Harry Rushton, Sam Halsall and Oliver Wilson.
