Former Huddersfield Giants<\/a> youngster Jayden Billy has joined Championship outfit Keighley Cougars ahead of 2027 alongside Isaac Coleman and Marcus Green.<\/p>\n

Billy, still only 22, came through the Giants\u2019 youth system before joining Sheffield Eagles in 2025.<\/p>\n

Having played the first eight games of his professional career for the Eagles, the winger\u2019s only game time at first-team level this year came in a three-game loan stint at North Wales Crusaders.<\/p>\n

And having spent some time back with Super League outfit Huddersfield, playing in their reserves during the season just gone, he has now sealed a permanent move to Keighley for 2027.<\/p>\n

Billy makes the move to Cougar Park as Keighley welcome in a new era under head coach Matt Bramald, who himself was only appointed a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Bramald said: \u201cI\u2019m really pleased to have Jayden joining us. He\u2019s an exciting addition to our options out wide, and I\u2019m looking forward to working with him and helping him develop further.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s already gained experience in professional environments, and this is a great opportunity for him to take the next step. I can\u2019t wait to get him and the rest of the squad together for pre-season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two-time Jamaica international Coleman and forward Green have also joined the Cougars \u2013 who finished 16th in the Championship this year \u2013 ahead of 2027.<\/p>\n

Coleman came through Bradford Bulls\u2019 youth system and represented England Students before playing ten games for Keighley\u2019s fellow Championship side Rochdale Hornets this term.<\/p>\n

Bramald detailed: \u201cI\u2019m really pleased Isaac is joining us. He\u2019s a young forward with a good grounding in the game and plenty of potential to develop further.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to give him the opportunity to compete for his place and become an important part of the squad. I\u2019m looking forward to working with him and seeing what he can bring when we get into pre-season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green meanwhile joins Billy in making the move to Cougar Park from Sheffield having enjoyed a four-game loan stint with Keighley in 2026.<\/p>\n

With 68 professional appearances on his CV, the forward \u2013 who still awaits his first career try \u2013 is the most experienced of the Cougars\u2019 three recruits.<\/p>\n

He has donned a shirt for Cornwall, Midlands Hurricanes, Bradford, Hunslet and Rochdale as well as Sheffield and Keighley.<\/p>\n

Bramald added: \u201cI\u2019m really pleased to have Marcus joining us. He\u2019s a fantastic addition to the squad we\u2019re building and strengthens our options in the middle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s already had a taste of playing at Keighley, and we\u2019re looking forward to having him with us for the season ahead. I can\u2019t wait to get cracking with Marcus and the rest of the lads in pre-season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Huddersfield Giants youngster Jayden Billy has joined Championship outfit Keighley Cougars ahead of 2027 alongside Isaac Coleman…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":799672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-799671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=799671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/799671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/799672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=799671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=799671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=799671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
