Huddersfield Giants boss Ian Watson wants to sign Wigan Warriors man

It’s that time of the year when clubs try and build their squad for the season after.

Some 2023 Super League squads are already taking shape with speculation surrounding more players and potential destinations.

One of those revealed earlier in the week was Wigan Warriors man Jake Bibby being linked with a move to Huddersfield Giants.

And, Huddersfield head coach Ian Watson has confirmed his interest in the centre.

“I’ve had Jake at Salford and he is off contract so we definitely have an interest in him,” Watson said.

“Time will tell I suppose if we can get him across the line, but I want Jake to join us, he made his debut under me at Salford.

The Huddersfield boss waxed lyrical about Bibby’s talent.

“There would be a lot of clubs having a look at him, he plays at a high level – an 8/10 in every game.

“And, in the semi-final against St Helens I thought he was the best centre on the field, but Wigan understand how valuable he is.”
