Giants snap up Rushton

Huddersfield Giants have added to their impressive cohort of young, English starlets with the signing of 20-year-old English utility forward Harry Rushton on a three year deal beginning in the 2023 Season. 

A 190cm, 100kg powerful forward, Rushton came through Wigan Warriors Academy, making his Betfred Super League debut in 2020 during Wigan's Round 14 game against St Helens. He signed for Canberra Raiders in 2021, going on to make his debut this season in Round 7 of the NRL before making two further appearances in the competition for the Raiders.

Huddersfield Giants Head Coach, Ian Watson said: "Harry is an outstanding signing for the Giants. He's a good, young, English forward who has plenty of ball-playing ability. He's got the ability to carry the ball, defends well and he's been well-schooled. He's made his NRL debut this year as well, furthering his experience and playing consistently in the NSW State Cup, he's continually been one of the better players at that level. I'm absolutely made up, it's a great signing for Huddersfield."
