Hugo Salabio: Huddersfield Giants sign forward on three-year deal from Wakefield Trinity

Hugo Salabio was banned for seven games during his short stint with Wakefield for a spear tackle on Leeds' Richie Myler

Huddersfield Giants have signed forward Hugo Salabio on a three-year deal from recently relegated Super League side Wakefield Trinity.

The 23-year-old joined Trinity for 2023 and made three appearances, all of which came from the bench.

Salabio joined Catalans as a 16-year-old and went on to make his debut in 2022 and later went on to join Trinity.

"He's going to bring considerable size and strength to our pack," head coach Ian Watson told the club's website.

"He's got great leg speed and the ability to play as well, he's aggressive in defence which is something we lacked a little and we've looked to correct.

"We know that Hugo is going to work really hard for the team and that's the most pleasing aspect of bringing someone in, the team first mentality."
