Huddersfield Giants star Leroy Cudjoe has penned a new two-year contract extension that will keep him at the Galpharm Stadium until the the end of 2012.

With his existing deal due to run out at the end of this season, the club's hierarchy have moved to keep their prized asset for the foreseeable future.

Speaking after signing the contract, he said: "It's a great relief to me to know that going forward I'll continue to be a Huddersfield Giants player because this is a club that is going places.

"Representing my hometown club is something I'm really proud of. I've seen the club grow over a number of years.

"We seem to have improved in every area and are continuing to improve further."

Head coach Nathan Brown added: "I'm delighted for Leroy - he thoroughly deserves it. He's a good kid whose best years are ahead of him, which is exciting for the club."
