Your questions, Answered! Q&A with Matty ENglish

After announcing his testimonial for 2026, Matty answers your fan questions!

Who is your Huddersfield Giants Hero?

MA: I’ve got two. Leroy Cudjoe. I played a massive part of my career with him, and he’s a true club legend. The other one is Ryan Hinchcliffe! When I was first coming through he was a mentor for me and taught me a lot.

What is your favourite ground to play at? (Other than The Accu)

MA: There’s something about Headingley. It’s where I made my Super League debut and one of the great Super League stadiums.

Favourite Ex coach?

MA: Probably Stoney, he gave me my opportunity as a young kid. Although I did get on with Germ Sr!

Which Super League Prop would you least like running at you?

MA: Chris Satae is a big bloke, Dave Taylor too when he was at Catalans! He was a handful.

Most annoying team mate you’ve ever had?

MA: Alex Mellor is up there, him or Danny Levi 

Favourite Kit you’ve ever played in?

MA: The red kit at Anfield Magic Weekend. When we came out You’ll Never Walk Alone was playing too and we got a good result.

Best game you’ve played in for the Giants? Either personally or team?

MA: I’m going to say, the Challenge Cup Final. It was heartbreak the way it finished and looking back now time has passed, what a team we had, we were very unlucky not to get the win.

Best mate in sport?

MA: I’ve got a few. Olly Russell, Darnell McIntosh, Owen Trout & Kieran Rush.

Most famous person in your contact list?

MA: It’s got to be Tom Burgess, but he’s saved as Burge because I know him on that level.

Most underrated player you’ve ever played with?

MA: Tough one, but I’d go Matt Frawley. When he first came he got some stick, but I thought he was really good, and this year too. He’s a champion of a guy!
