Huddersfield Giants give trial to Jamie Foster
Monday 8 February 2016 13:30, UK
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, will have his first training session with the Giants on Monday in a bid to secure a contract.
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.
Huddersfield, who have money to spend following the sale of England second rower Brett Ferres to Leeds, are urgently looking to strengthen after losing Scott Grix, Joe Wardle, Danny Brough, Kyle Wood, Luke Robinson and Craig Huby to injury.
The Giants are thought to have shown an interest in former Leeds and Wakefield full-back Lee Smith before he joined Leigh and are being linked with Hull's 20-year-old former Bradford outside back Curtis Naughton, who made 13 appearances for the Airlie Birds in 2015.
