HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS have made their third signing of the week with back-rower Asher O’Donnell joining on a two-year deal.

The 22-year-old is the brother of former Leigh Leopards star Kai O’Donnell and crossed for nine tries in 18 appearances this year for Queensland Cup side Brisbane Tigers.

He joins Mathieu Cozza and Chris Patolo as Huddersfield’s three new recruits.

O’Donnell said: “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.”

Huddersfield boss Luke Robinson said: “It’s 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.”
