Anderson extends Huddersfield stay

Huddersfield Giants head coach Paul Anderson has signed an agreement to remain in his post until the end of the 2017 season.

The 43-year-old succeeded Nathan Brown in the role in late 2012, and won the League Leaders Shield in his first season in charge.

He now wants to win more silverware with the Giants.

“My continuation here has never really been an issue to me as the club has always been good to their word and I’m happy we are now able to announce it,” said Anderson.

“I am proud to coach this club and work with good people who have the right ethics I believe to take us forward.

“I know the ambition here is huge and that’s great as it matches mine in wanting to be the first coach that delivers a major trophy to the club.”

Giants managing director Richard Thewlis was pleased that Anderson had committed his future to the club.

“We like stability at this club and Paul has been a key part of the organisation for a long period now,” he said.

“He is our most successful ever Super League coach and continues to work tirelessly towards our ultimate goals of further silverware.

“His reputation in the game is huge and his staff and players enjoy working for him and I know are pleased that their leader is around for the foreseeable future.

“We have much to achieve this season as we pass the half way mark and the challenges grow each year but it’s great for all to know that Paul will continue to spearhead our development.”
