Huddersfield Giants star Danny Brough has successfully retained the Albert Goldthorpe Medal, with one round of Super League fixtures still remaining.
Brough, who won the Albert Goldthorpe Medal in 2008 and 2013, and is the reigning Man of Steel, clinched the Medal when he was awarded three points for his performance in the Giants’ 38-28 victory against Hull FC at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Although he missed five conversion attempts, Brough was instrumental in plotting the Giants’ recovery from a 4-18 deficit early in the game.

Brough, with 33 points, now has an unassailable six-point lead over second placed Kevin Brown of Widnes Vikings.
At a special ceremony later this year Brough will be presented with the solid gold medal and a cheque to the value of £2,000.
Meanwhile Castleford Tigers have taken a lead in the Albert Goldthorpe Club Table, following their victory against neighbours Wakefield on Sunday.
They now have 102 points, one point ahead of both Wigan and St Helens.
