They have the same name, grew up around the corner from each other and both left Wigan to join Huddersfield's big signings for 2023, it’s little wonder people think the Bibbys are brothers.
Indeed, storming centre Jake Bibby, 27, admits it’s a running joke how folk put two and two together about him and 21-year-old front-row Jack Bibby and equalled siblings. But as much as they have now become big pals on their daily commute down the M62, there is definitely no family connection. One look at their car share pic proves that.
Jake Bibby, one of Huddersfield's big signings for 2023, said: “When I was playing for Salford a few years ago I noticed Jack’s name knocking about and thought it was strange. I didn’t know if he was from Wigan. Then I joined Wigan but he was mainly in the reserves. I’ve got to know him a lot more now, though, as we travel together to Huddersfield.
