The Huddersfield Giants have rejected AN’s loan offer for Jake Connor, according to head coach Ian Watson.

Watson made Connor available on loan last week after a run of games on the sidelines, and a Super League rival has attempted to sign the maverick playmaker on a short-term deal.

However, Watson explains why the offer was rejected.

“I think there’s been a small bit of interest, but there’s nothing we could do this week,” Watson joked.

“We are going to Catalans and are flying tomorrow morning so there is nothing we could do this

week.”

League Express is also widely distributed at local newsstands throughout the north of England.
