YOUNG BACK-ROW STAR SIGNS NEW DEAL

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce that young back-row star Jack Billington has penned a contract extension that will see him remain a Giant until 2027.

The towering forward started his Rugby career in the opposite code, before he was picked up by the Giants and has gone from strength to strength ever since, also boasting Samoan Heritage, his rugby journey started in Union before switching to League.

A rising star, Jack has featured numerous times this season, showing his quality in the game against Hull FC, and also holding his own against seasoned Super League veterans.

The future is extremely bright for Jack and numerous young stars the Giants have tied down to long-term contracts in the past year, with Billo commenting on how he's got to this stage after playing community Rugby Union.

Head Coach Luke Robinson commented on securing another one of his rising talents to a new deal.

"It's great news that we've got Billo signed up for the next couple of years, he's really built on the hard work he's put in and we're looking forward to seeing how he progresses.

"In the games he's played, he's slotted right in and not looked out of place, he's a big figure and can hold his own vs some of the very best.

Jack Billington also discussed penning his new deal at the club.

“It means the world to me that the club have offered me an extension, I had to make a very difficult decision a few years ago whether to go on tour to South Africa with England rugby union or sign an academy deal at the giants and looking back now I wouldn’t change it for the world.

"The club have shown me so much support on and off the field and I am very grateful for this opportunity".
