Huddersfield star Jake Connor has missed rugby league more than he ever imagined possible - and reckons he’ll now get even better on his return.
One of Super League’s most exciting and controversial players, the England international ends nearly seven months of frustration against St Helens on Thursday. Fully recovered from major knee surgery, it will be his first Giants appearance since leaving them for Hull in 2016. Maverick talent Connor went on to earn full international honours, win a Challenge Cup and torment defenders galore with the Black and Whites.
But after rejoining Huddersfield in October, the gifted stand-off’s back where it all started and ready to turn Ian Watson’s side into title contenders. Connor admitted: “It has been tough. It’s been a new one for me. I’ve had injuries before but nothing long-term like this. It’s been six and a half months.
