Huddersfield Giants have announced the signing of back row forward Zane Dunford on an 18-month deal from Brisbane Tigers.

The 24-year-old Australian is expected to arrive in the country over the weekend and will immediately join the team, as Jim Leniham's team look to climb the Super League rankings.

Lenihan, who previously signed Dunford at Brisbane, said:

"I brought Zane over from Manly to Brisbane this year, and when the opportunity came up to bring him to Huddersfield we jumped at it, he's a great middle that has been playing and excelling in the back-row, a good line runner and tough in defence, we're over the moon to have him here for the next 18 months."

"Zane's also a great bloke as well and fits into the people who we want to recruit here, he's looking forward to his chance in Super League and playing for Huddersfield, I know that he'll work extremely hard for the team and it's a great addition for us."
