Huddersfield Giants have signed utility man Scott Grix from Wakefield Wildcats.

The 25-year-old, who captained Ireland at the 2008 World Cup, has signed a two-year deal at the Galpharm Stadium.

Grix told BBC Radio Leeds: "I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking to progress my career and I can't think of anywhere better to do it.

"If I can improve as much as the whole squad at Huddersfield has improved under [coach] Nathan Brown, then I'll be happy."

Grix, who had spells at Widnes, Leigh and Warrington, can play in a number of positions including full-back, wing, stand-off and loose-forward.

The Giants become the eighth professional club of his career, and he hopes that the move will be beneficial for all involved.

"I have had a few clubs over the years but I think every one of the moves I've made has been a positive one and one to improve myself," Grix added.

"With the way they [Huddersfield] perform on the pitch, it's going to be a big season for me.

good signing.

looks like my source who told me as long ago as the hull away game was right.

What do you want? A pat on the back?
I think it's a good move for all three parties. We are blessed with halves so was never really gonna get a look in with all our players fit. Hope he gets regular gametime for you guys. He could progres into a good player in a team more suited to his playing style

Really?! Brough is very capable. You have a few decent kids, but SL is a different prospect. Jeffries has not played well for 2/3 years and Obst is cover in the halves (though a nifty 9). Blessed? Have you made some other signings?

Gotta love delusional Wakey fans eh

Not consistently, but he does have the occasional cracker. HIs try assists are up with the best aswell.

You are obviously talking from strength having signed Grix to compliment who exactly, Robbo and errrrrrr?

Robbo, DREW, Mc Nally, Brown

Our halfbacks cant be that bad since we have the 3rd best attack in the league.
