Jermaine McGillvary chalks up his 300th game for Huddersfield admitting: “It’s a dream come true.”
The ex-England winger, 34, has played his entire career for his hometown club. He’s been crocked since injuring a knee last July but returns for their Super League opener against Warrington on Friday. McGillvary, who debuted in 2010, told the Daily Mirror: “It’s a great milestone but my aim was just to try to make a living out of rugby league. If it’d have been Championship all my career, it’d have still been a success for me. But I’ve played for my hometown team, represented my country, gone on tour and played 300 games here so it’s a dream come true.
“It’s probably something I’ll appreciate more when I do retire and look back at how the journey went and what I achieved. It might not have been silverware - as of yet - but I’ve come from nowhere to do this and, firstly, we’ve a job to do against Warrington.”
