Huddersfield Giants see potential in Birmingham Hurricanes’ Toby Warren

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS have signed Birmingham Hurricanes back-rower Toby Warren on a two-year deal.

The 23-year-old forward will run out for Dewsbury Rams as part of the two clubs’ agreement, but could make the step up to the Giants first-team if the opportunity arises.

Warren, who scored eight tries in 27 appearances for the Hurricanes in the Championship last season, made 15 Super League appearances for the then-Salford Red Devils in 2025.

He has also turned out for Featherstone Rovers, Rochdale Hornets and hometown club York Knights, also spending time with Leeds Rhinos’ academy and reserves.

“I’m buzzing to get another opportunity to grow and learn in a Super League environment,” enthused Warren, who came through the ranks at community clubs Heworth and New Earswick All Blacks before making the step up with York.

“I’ve enjoyed the first few training sessions here and i’m looking to get stuck in and work hard.”

Huddersfield’s director of rugby, Andy Kelly, believes the forward can learn a lot from his time with the Giants.

“Toby is an exciting prospect,” he said.

“He’s found himself at Birmingham Hurricanes and has had a great season this year.

“He fits in the category alongside Jack Billington and Lewis Jagger, players who will underpin the senior blokes in the squad, learn and develop in and around the environment.

“Toby is a player that will fit right in to Jim Lenihan’s ethos.”
