Huddersfield Giants’ New Signing Shares Excitement About Joining, Discusses Tom Burgess’ Influence and Luke Robinson’s Role.
Huddersfield Giants’ newest recruit has expressed his excitement at joining
the club, with his first words revealing the significant influences of some key
figures in his career. The player, who joins the Giants ahead of the 2024 Super
League season, has been quick to acknowledge the role that fellow NRL star
Tom Burgess has played in his decision to make the move to the UK, as well as
the positive influence of Huddersfield’s head coach Luke Robinson.
In his first official comments as a Giant, the new signing said, “It’s an exciting
new chapter for me, and I’m really looking forward to getting started with the
team. I’ve heard so much about the club’s ambitions and its history, and I can’t
wait to be part of what we are building here. It’s a great club with a lot of
passionate fans, and I’m eager to get stuck in.”
The signing, who previously played in the NRL, shared that Tom Burgess, the
formidable South Sydney Rabbitohs forward and international rugby league
player, was one of the players who influenced his decision to move to the
Super League. Both players have shared connections through their playing
backgrounds in the NRL, and Burgess’ career trajectory has provided a clear
example of how an Australian player can thrive in the UK.
“Tom has been a big influence on me,” the new Giant explained. “We’ve spent
a bit of time talking, and I’ve seen the way he’s developed over here in the
Super League. His journey has shown me what is possible, and it was
something that really excited me. He spoke highly of the league and the level of
competition, and it helped give me confidence that this move is the right one
for me at this stage in my career.”
Burgess’ success story in the Super League, especially his transition from NRL
stalwart to a respected figure in the UK, has been a source of inspiration for
several young Australian players contemplating a move overseas. His solid
performances and leadership qualities are something the new Huddersfield
recruit hopes to emulate during his time in the UK.
But it’s not just Tom Burgess who has had an impact on the new signing. The
24-year-old also highlighted the crucial role that Huddersfield Giants’ head
coach Luke Robinson played in making the transfer happen. Robinson, a
former player and now the head coach of the Giants, has built a reputation for
his hands-on approach and development of young talent. His leadership style
and passion for the game were significant factors in the decision to join
Huddersfield.
“Luke Robinson is someone I’ve always had a lot of respect for. He’s a coach
who knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level, and his vision for the
team really resonated with me. We’ve had some really good conversations
about the direction of the club, and it’s clear that he’s passionate about
developing players and bringing the best out of them. His energy and the way
he motivates the squad made me want to be a part of that. I’m looking forward
to working with him and the rest of the coaching staff to push the team
forward.”
The influence of Robinson on the club has been evident, with Huddersfield
showing positive signs of growth under his leadership. His commitment to
developing a well-rounded, competitive squad has been a key reason behind
several high-profile players joining the Giants in recent seasons. Robinson’s
ability to build a cohesive unit while nurturing talent from within the system is
one of the traits that have made him a popular figure among players and fans
alike.
As for the new signing, he’s eager to prove himself on the field and contribute
to the team’s success. “I know there will be challenges ahead, but I’m ready for
it. I’ve come here to be a part of a team that is pushing for silverware, and I’m
determined to give my all. The Giants are a club with big ambitions, and I’m
here to help make those dreams a reality.”
Fans of Huddersfield Giants are excited to see what the new signing will bring
to the team in 2024. With the combination of experience, youthful
enthusiasm, and the support of key figures like Tom Burgess and Luke
Robinson, the club will be hoping that this new addition will help them make a
real push for the top honors in the Super League.
The new signing’s words not only reflect his own ambitions but also a growing
sense of belief in the future of Huddersfield Giants as they look to build upon
the solid foundation already in place. With a new chapter beginning,
Huddersfield’s supporters are undoubtedly eager to see their club’s next
success story unfold.
