Huddersfield have handed new deals to teenage twins Innes and Louis Senior, to keep them at the club until the end of 2020.

The 17-year-olds both made their debuts in 2018, featuring together against Castleford back in April.

Innes, who has scored three tries in four Super League appearances, said: ““I’m very happy. I’ve come through the system from the Scholarship and then the Academy, it’s always been a Club that I’ve wanted to play for. Ever since I’ve been a kid I’ve grown up as a fan so I’m really happy to have signed the contract.”   

The pair have been part of a clutch of Giants youngsters handed an opportunity by Chris Thorman in recent months, as the Giants battled with injuries.

Brother Louis added: “I’m really happy, it gives me a bit of security knowing that I’ll be at the Club for the next two years. There’s a new Head Coach here which is someone new to impress, hopefully I can do that and get some real game-time over the next couple of years.

“I did not expect it to all come this quickly to be honest, but I’ve been playing pretty well in the Academy and injuries have meant that I’ve got my chance, I’m just glad to have made it so early.

“I live twenty minutes away from the Stadium and have lived in Huddersfield all my life, so it’s the Club I’ve supported ever since I can remember, to get this contract is just amazing.”
