Former Salford City Reds coach Karl Harrison has joined the backroom staff at Huddersfield.

The ex-Great Britain international, who has been out of the game since May 2007, has been appointed senior scholarship coach at the Galpharm.

Having demonstrated his abilities as a coach in the five years he was in charge of the Reds, he now believes he can make a real difference on the other side of the Pennines.

"This is a great opportunity for myself to put something back into the game," he said.

"I'd like to thank Huddersfield Giants for putting Karl Harrison back on the map, it really is a club on the up.

"Huddersfield have got a really good base here, great facilities, a new head coach and a great first-team squad.

"The next step is to have a great youth-team squad and hopefully I can be a part of making this club successful again as part of the excellent developing structure."

Harrison will not coach the youth team directly but will be responsible for mentoring the club's scholarship coaches.
