York City Knights are in talks to sign Huddersfield’s Reiss Butterworth.
TotalRL understands the two clubs are closing in on a deal that would see the hooker join the club on a 28-day loan.
The former Bradford youngster has yet to play a senior game for the Giants but made 14 appearances for Batley in the Championship last season.
The 21-year-old will provide competition for the struggling Knights, who are bottom of the Championship and without a league win.
Despite an impressive victory over London in the Challenge Cup, they have fallen to defeat against Toulouse, Leigh and Halifax.
It’s believed a deal could be completed in time for Butterworth to take on the Broncos this weekend.
