I can&#8217;t wait for the games to come around and put my best performance out there and leave my off-field stuff to my agent and everyone else to worry about. I&#8217;ll just focus on my on-field stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Huddersfield get their 2026 campaign under way with a trip to Hunslet in the Challenge Cup third round on Friday, 6 February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long-serving Huddersfield prop Matty English says he is open to offers from rival Super League clubs.
