Quote :: Huddersfield Giants are pleased to announce that the club have managed to obtain the signatures of 4 of the top junior talents in West Yorkshire.

Scott Farnsworth (16, back-row), Darren Lamb (16, Centre/Wing), Perry Whitely (16, Full-Back) and Aaron Briggs (16, Centre/Back-Row) have each signed professional forms with the club and will form part of the Giants Academy squad for the 2009 season under the tutelage of Darren Fleary and Anthony Farrell.

Player Performance Manager Peter Riding commented on securing the players to the Giants causeway:

“I think it’s a massive coup for the club. The four guys have been at the club for a number of months now, some even years. For them to decide that their immediate future lies with the Giants is fantastic for all involved. There has been a lot of people playing a big part in their development and what we want to do now is challenge these lads to fulfil the obvious potential that they possess. Darren (Fleary) and Anthony (Farrell) are two highly regarded ex-professionals and I’m sure they will instil the correct values into these young players as they make their way through the game.”

Head of Youth Development Damian McGrath commented:

“These players are four of the top local junior talents in the region and the fact that they have chosen to pledge their immediate future to the club is a tremendous coup and one that we view as a real statement of intent.”

Are there not any big kids out there who fancy being a the next eorl Crabtree ?

Excellent to see us at the forefront of youth development. Lets hope that the training is good enough to make players out of them!
