Turner prize! GIANTS SIGN ACE JORDAN HOPING TO LIVE DREAM
GRAND Final winner Jordan Turner has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Huddersfield Giants.
Delighted head coach Rick Stone says the 28-year-old capture from Canberra Raiders can “tick many boxes” for his Super League squad.
Before heading to the NRL, Turner was a star at St Helens after playing for Hull FC and Salford City Reds.
His signing was announced after the 28-26 defeat by Wakefield Trinity.
“He can tick many boxes for us within our squad and I am looking forward to working with him as soon as possible,” said Stone.
Turner says he is excited about flying back from Australia and wants to join up with the Giants as soon as possible. LIKE 39,000 Huddersfield Town fans at Wembley and thousands more around the globe, Dean Hoyle is “hoping and praying” for promotion.
It’s the biggest game in world club football – worth an estimated £200m to the winner, and as Town prepare to take on Reading in the Championship play-off final at Wembley, Hoyle joked that he’s “bricking it” ahead of the showpiece.
“It’s been a dream to be in this situation, a vision, but now it’s a reality and if our boys turn up and perform then win or lose they will do this town, this club and myself proud,” said Hoyle.
“I’m not an over-confident person, but if our boys turn up then we’ve got a really good chance.”
He added: “I think I will have a tear in my eye regardless because there are 40,000 Terriers going down and if we get the ball over the line we are a Premier League club – and the dream will have come true.” Over 150 80% wool/20% nylon roll ends in stock.
