KORKIDAS BECOMES A GIANT

[josie andrews]

Huddersfield have confirmed the signing of former Castleford and Wakefield prop Michael Korkidas.

The 27-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the Giants after negotiating a release from the final season of his Castleford contract last month.

Korkidas, who was also linked with a return to Wakefield, first came to Britain when he joined the Wildcats from Sydney Roosters in 2002 and also had a spell at Salford.

The move will see him link up with new Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown, who takes charge next season.

Korkidas said: "It's a great move for me. I was looking for an opportunity and when Browny showed interest I jumped at it.

"I know him from my NRL days and he is a top-class coach who I believe can bring the best out of me and get me back to the form I was showing a few years back."
