At a fan event last night attended by over 300 and hosted by Giants legend, Eorl Crabtree, Huddersfield Giants have tonight announced their squad numbers for the 2023 season.
The Giants are the fourth team to release their full squad numbers, after St Helens, Warrington and Leeds. The numbers see have a change in jersey, with NRL-bound Will Pryce the player with the biggest change.
The star full-back has moved to number 32, despite having the number one jersey last year. That is to make way for Jake Connor, who returns to the club after six seasons at Hull FC.
Pryce’s move down the pecking order back to the number 32, the shirt he debuted with in 2021, comes after the clu confirmed he would be leaving the club at the end of 2023 to join NRL club the Newcastle Knights on a two0year deal alongside Wigan Warriors star Kai Pearce-Paul.
To many, a move outside of the starting 13 shirt numbers would be disappointing, just look at the excitement of James Harrison at wearing eight in 2023 for Warrington Wolves for instance, but Pryce remains positive about the shirt number change.
He took to Twitter to say: “Buzzing to be back in 32, my first professional number, let’s get going now.”
