Giants express disappointment at Mullally’s departure

Correspondent

Huddersfield Giants have reacted with dismay to the news that Anthony Mullally is leaving the club at the end of the season to join Leeds Rhinos.

The club had recently offered the prop improved terms, and were optimistic that the player would agree to them.

“Its disappointing and rare when players who we give the opportuntiy to remain here chose to move on, especially given our offer and the fact that Anthony is playing here week in week out,” Giants managing director Richard Thewlis.

“However we respect his decision and the process that allows these moves to occur now and have every confidence that Anthony will continue to give his all as a Giant for the remainder of 2015.”
