Leeds Rhinos have signed England international fullback Jake Connor from Huddersfield Giants.
The 29 year old, from Halifax, has signed a two year deal at Headingley
He's made over 200 Super League appearances during his career. He made his debut in the league back in 2013 with Giants, before spending six years at Hull FC.
He earned five caps for England under Wayne Bennett, scoring four tries and nine goals in total.
Commenting on signing for the Rhinos Connor said: “I can’t wait to get started with the club and get to meet the lads."
"I nearly joined the Rhinos a few years ago so it feels like things have come full circle. I know I will have people who doubt me, I’m used that, but I will be working hard to earn the respect of my team mates and the coaching staff during pre-season, that’s all that counts.
"I’m passionate about Rugby League, whether that is coaching Siddal or on the field with my team and I want to win.
"This is the biggest move of my career and I am excited about what we can achieve over the next few years.”
