Lolesi Signs for Giants

Correspondent

Huddersfield have moved to strengthen their backline with the signing of Jamaal Lolesi from Wests Tigers.

The Giants announced last week that they will be releasing goal kicking centre Michael De Vere, but have now replaced him with New Zealand international Lolesi, 25, who has signed a 2 year deal.

"Jamaal is an excellent signing for the Giants," said head coach John Sharp.

"He is a player that has made a big impression in the NRL and I expect him to have a similar impact in Super League.".

Lolesi said: "I could have stayed at Wests for another year, but I was keen to play in England while I was still young and had a lot to offer."
