Huddersfield Giants have announced their latest signing for 2027 and have strengthened their outside backs with a new face from down under.<\/p>\n

The Giants have already announced six new faces for next season, with the big arrivals being the return of Kruise Leeming from Wigan and Jake Arthur from Hull FC.<\/p>\n

Jaimin Jolliffe will join from the Gold Coast Titans, whilst Warrington\u2019s Jordy Crowther, Wakefield\u2019s Will Tate and Jeylan Hodgson of Goole have all signed for the club.<\/p>\n

Signing number seven for Huddersfield is Logan Aoake, a 21-year-old speedster who has spent the last three seasons in the Newcastle Knights\u2019 pathways system.<\/p>\n

Being a regular in the club\u2019s New South Wales Cup side, Aoake has scored 16 tries in 37 appearances since his debut in July 2024.<\/p>\n

Averaging 120 metres per game this season, the youngster will bolster the club\u2019s backline options \u2013 something that is in need of an upgrade following the exits of Taane Milne and Jaob Gagai.<\/p>\n

Former Huddersfield Giants half-back Oliver Russell lands Championship deal for 2027<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as Huddersfield confirm the signing of one man, a recently departed Giants man has also had his future confirmed.<\/p>\n

Oliver Russell has put pen to paper with second-tier side Oldham RLFC on loan, who have brought in the 28-year-old as a replacement for the retiring Josh Drinkwater.<\/p>\n

Russell is actually still contracted to Wakefield Trinity, with the 2026 move to Huddersfield only being a loan move.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m over the moon,\u201d said Russell after his move was confirmed. \u201cIt\u2019s special, isn\u2019t it, signing for your home town club.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to play here at Boundary Park and in front of the fans \u2013 I\u2019ll have a lot of friends coming because I\u2019m an Oldham boy and I\u2019m just really excited to get going.<\/p>\n

I know a few of the lads already and some of the new signings that are coming in to join me. It will be a really good young squad, and it is just really exciting times.\u201d<\/p>\n
