Harvey Livett says he wants to win a major piece of silverware with Huddersfield after joining the club on a three-year contract from Salford.

The 25-year-old has made 96 career appearances for Warrington, Rochdale (loan), Hull KR (loan) and Salford since making his first team debut in 2017.

Livett said: “I’m really excited, it’s a massive club and the way things are going at the moment is really exciting.

“Being under Watto (Ian Watson), he signed me at Salford but I never got the chance to play under him because you guys took him! But no, it’s really exciting and I am looking forward to it.

“The main thing was Ian Watson has a lot of faith in me and he knows the level that I can get to in the next couple of years and that’s the main reason I signed really.

“The way things are going for Huddersfield is exciting. With getting to the Challenge Cup final again and into the play-offs the next year the aim, but we want to go a step further and win the Cup or get to a Grand Final. There’s a lot of good things coming for Huddersfield and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
