Huddersfield have handed a trial to former St Helens and Bradford goalkicking winger Jamie Foster.

The 25-year-old, who has played rugby union since leaving the Bulls at the end of the 2014 season, had his first training session with the Giants yesterday in a bid to secure a contract with the club.

Foster, who scored 902 points in 88 Super League appearances including the 2011 Grand Final for his hometown club St Helens, can also play full-back.

Giants managing director, Richard Thewlis, said: “This is a good opportunity for Jamie to come here, impress the coaching staff and try and earn a contract.”

Huddersfield are urgently looking to strengthen after losing Scott Grix, Joe Wardle, Danny Brough, Kyle Wood, Luke Robinson and Craig Huby to injury.
