Liam Sutcliffe leaves Huddersfield Giants with immediate effect

LIAM SUTCLIFFE has left Huddersfield Giants with immediate effect.

Sutcliffe, who began his career with Leeds Rhinos, signed for the Giants ahead of the 2025 Super League season but has found game time limited due to suffering two serious injuries.

In fact, the 31-year-old has played just five times for the Giants during his time at the club, but recently returned to rugby league action for Championship side Halifax Panthers last weekend.

Huddersfield’s director of rugby, Andy Kelly, paid tribute to Sutcliffe for his professionalism during his 18-month spell at the Accu Stadium.

Kelly said: “Liam Sutcliffe leaves the Huddersfield Giants to seek other opportunities within the game, Liam also has a vision of his life outside of and after Rugby League. His time here has been blighted by injury and we have never truly seen what he would’ve brought to the club if injury free.

“It has to be said Liam has always acted with the highest levels of integrity and professionalism when trying to reach full fitness and take his place in the team, hopefully as he moves away from the club he will find consistency in his time on the field, we wish him well for the future.”
