BRIMFUL OF ASHER O'DONNELL - GIANTS SIGN BACK-ROW STAR

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce the signing of highly rated back-rower Asher O'Donnell on a two-year deal.

The powerful back-row star, who recently scooped the player of the year award for the Brisbane Tigers in the Queensland Cup, will look to solidify Luke Robinson's options in his roster.

Another player coming into his peak years, O'Donnell will look to follow in his brother's footsteps, Kai, who made a name for himself at Leigh Leopards.

Asher crossed for nine tries in 18 appearances in 2025, with him looking to bring tries to our back-row options for the upcoming campaign.

Aussie O'Donnell commented on joining the Giants ahead of 2026.

"I’m very excited to be part of the Huddersfield Giants family now, it's a good opportunity for me to test myself at Super League level and I feel naturally it's the next step.

"Me and my partner will be coming over, we're looking forward to seeing what the future brings, I'm very keen and grateful for this opportunity, and I'm looking forward to getting started."

Head Coach Luke Robinson discussed the potential that O'Donnell has.

"Its a real find for us, we believe he could light up Super League, he's a strong uncompromising back-rower, he runs a strong line and will give us impetus for our attack on the edge.

"Asher works really hard for the team, meaning he's fit and ready to play whenever you call upon him and with the other players he's still young at 22, meaning he's got loads of development left in him and we can see him flourishing here."
