Huddersfield Giants Secure Tui Lolohea’s Future with Two-Year Contract Extension
Huddersfield Giants have announced the re-signing of Tui Lolohea, with the talented half-back penning a new two-year deal to remain at the club until at least the end of the 2026 season. Lolohea, who joined the Giants from Salford Red Devils ahead of the 2021 campaign, has quickly established himself as a key figure in the side, playing a pivotal role in their third-place finish and run to the Challenge Cup final that year.
“It’s really exciting for me, they’ve been loyal to me since I joined here, and it allows me to focus on my rugby now the deal is all signed and sorted. This extension is a good opportunity, I’m looking forward to the next couple of years, there’s 100% unfinished business for me being in a final and the top 3.”
During the 2021 season, Lolohea produced an impressive 25 try assists, the second-highest in the league. Since then, he has continued to cement his status as a vital cog in the Huddersfield machine, currently leading the Giants’ try-assist charts with eight this year. Memorably, he also scored two tries in a victory over Hull FC, showcasing his all-around attacking prowess.
The Giants’ assistant coach, Luke Robinson, praised Lolohea’s consistent performances, stating:
“When Tui plays well, we win. Even in the losses he always puts his hand up and has been one of the shining lights in our sides, he plays consistent rugby and he’s one of the most consistent in the league. Tui’s always up there in the try assisting charts and it shows how crucial he is to our side; you don’t often have someone who is so consistent in creating the four pointers.”
Lolohea’s future with the Huddersfield Giants is now secured, and he will be looking to continue his impressive form as the team aims to push for a top-six finish and further success in the Challenge Cup.
