Huddersfield Giants boss Ian Watson rewards Adam O’Brien with new deal

Huddersfield Giants hooker Adam O’Brien has signed a new contract with Huddersfield Giants that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2024 Season. The 28-year-old has made 105 appearances for the Giants since arriving in 2017, and scored in last week’s clash with Catalans Dragons. 

Huddersfield Giants Head Coach, Ian Watson said: “Adam O’Brien is a great team member and a good individual to have around the squad. He’s always been a positive influence for the team and is 100% committed to helping us build the right mentality.

“We’re delighted to have him with us for an extra two years and we hope that he continues to perform at the levels he has shown over the last few weeks against Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons. He is a positive role-model for the rest of the squad and the club and typifies the consistency we want at the Huddersfield Giants.”

Adam O’Brien said: “I’m buzzing, it’s been a tough two years, I’m back on the field now enjoying my rugby and the club’s come and offered me a two-year deal and I’m happy to stay at the club for the next two years.

“The staff and everyone at the club have had faith in me, they’ve given me game time and I’m back on the field enjoying my rugby and now I’ve got a two-year deal to stick around and I’m looking forward to what’s to come”

“You always look to have a strong squad, through pre-season and into the season. Everyone has got to be on their toes, be a top performer week in, week out because there are always people wanting starting spots in this side.”
