NEW ACADEMY PLAYERS ANNOUNCED

At the final home game vs Castleford Tigers, we announced the players that will be making the step up to the Academy from our Scholarship system.

With the 2026 season now finished for all age groups, the players that were making the step up from the Giants Scholarship were presented to the supporters and had a picture as they signed their academy contract.

We wish the very best of luck to the players that have moved up, and are excited to watch their development within the next two seasons.

Watch out on our Facebook page for the full gallery of players!
