In just 24 hours since a new appeal for donations was launched, the club has raised £2,080 - exceeding its goal of £2,000.

The 15-year-old was still in his mother's womb when he suffered a brain haemorrhage and "massive bleeding" at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, the High Court heard.

Medics mistakenly thought the baby was suffering from leukaemia and a genetic heart defect.

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust denied that clinical negligence played any part in the teenager's injuries.

NHS lawyers said that appropriate advice and treatment was given throughout and that, by the time of the boy's delivery, the "die was cast" and the damage had already been done.

Without making any admission of liability, however, the trust has today agreed to settle the teenager's claim for £500,000.

Approving the settlement, Judge Margaret Obi said: "I cannot imagine how difficult this whole process must have been for the family."

She said he hoped the payout would give "some comfort" to the teenager and his family.

They'll share players and field a joint reserve team for the next three seasons.

The reserves matches will be played under the Giants' name, but could take place at any of the three home grounds.

Huddersfield managing director Richard Thewlis said: "We approached Halifax with a view to being able to help them back into the Championship top five next year, which is so important to them.

"With their central funding cut and our enhanced squad all needing games, a partnership seemed a good fit.

"When Hunslet approached Halifax in a similar vein it made more sense to include them as well to widen the pool of players available to us all."
