Harry Rushton: Huddersfield Giants forward signs new deal with Super League club

Harry Rushton has made himself a key member of the Huddersfield side this season

Harry Rushton has signed a new deal with Huddersfield Giants which will keep him with the Super League club until 2027.

The Ireland international, 22, has made three 2024 appearances for the Giants.

Rushton has retruned to action this season having missed most of the 2023 campaign through injury.

"We've got high ambitions for Harry, he's focused and driven and hard-working, you can't ask for much more of a player," said head coach Ian Watson.

Watson also told the club website: "We have an ambition as a club to retain high quality young players and we rate Harry extremely highly.

"The work that he's been putting in during his injury has showed his drive and determination to return stronger, and he has done that with his re-introduction into the first team."

Rushton added: "I was really unlucky with the injury last year and that was a tough period for me, but to be rewarded for my hard work with a new deal means a lot.

"I've been putting in a lot of work behind the scenes over the past few months to get where I am now and I'm looking forward to the next few years, and hopefully building on what we've started."
