GIANTS SIGN YEDS HOOKER

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce the signing of Hooker Cole Geyer on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The Aussie hooker has been a standout performer in the Betfred Championship so far, making 13 appearances and scoring 5 tries for Oldham, and will now compete with Zac Woolford and Kieran Rush for the hooker role.

Cole, who previously played for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup competition, will now get his opportunity to take on Super League, and is also close friends with our number 8, Tristan Powell.

Geyer spoke at our Laund Hill training base, as he took part in his first training session.

I'm delighted to be at this club, I know most of the lads really well through Tristan (Powell) who i've played with a lot and live over here with, can't wait to get going and give Super League a crack.

I'm a running nine and I like to speed the game up and be on the back of quick rucks, everyone here has made me feel welcome at this club, hopefully there are good times ahead for the group and myself.

Interim Head Coach, Liam Finn spoke about the addition of Cole to his side.

We're really pleased to have Cole a part of this group, he's ready for the step up to Super League and will add some quality to our squad, which hasn't been the biggest so it's a welcome addition.

It's an opportunity for us to look at Cole and for himself to see what Super League is like, we know he wil put his best foot forward and prove he belongs in Super League, we're happy to have him as a part of this group and he will come straight into contention for our next game.

Cole is available for sponsorship, please email commercial@giantsrl.com for more information.
