HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS prop Jack Billington has been banned for three games after being hit with a Grade E Kicking charge whilst on loan with Widnes Vikings.
Billington, who picked up 18 penalty points for the offence in Widnes’ 52-8 victory over Salford last Friday, has been a key figure for the Vikings in 2026, registering ten appearances and scoring four tries.
However, the 21-year-old was recalled by Huddersfield boss Jim Lenihan for their bottom-of-the-table clash with Hull FC last night and impressed in the 22-16 win.
Billington will now have to sit out games against Catalans Dragons, Toulouse Olympique and Warrington Wolves.
