Huddersfield Giants have handed 20-year-old prop forward Josh Johnson a contract extension that will keep him at the John Smith's Stadium until the end of the 2016 season.



The academy product made his Giants debut 12 months ago and has appeared in four of their last First Utility Super League matches.



Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson said: "Josh is deserving of a longer opportunity at the club and he is well aware of what he needs to do to keep improving as a professional."



Johnson said: "My aim at the start of the year was to get an early extension to my contract and obviously I am pleased that it's sorted out and I have a great chance here to become a fully-fledged Super League player."

Nathan mason of the list!



2 year deal..look forward to him breaking into the SL first team now

As far as Grix is concerned I think we might find a 2yr deal for him is on the cards, I personally think he's well deserving of it too

Good stuff- time for Connor to start to stake his claim.



Interestingly my current (on holiday) neighbours are Bradford and hull fans-both stated yesterday how they rate grix and robbo and would happily have either in their squad.

think bradford and hull fans would take anyone right now!

I'm free
