League: Lolesi signs with Huddersfield

English Super League club Huddersfield has signed New Zealand centre Jamaal Lolesi, news agency AFP reported today.

Lolesi, 25, has reportedly agreed a two-year contract after being released halfway through his deal with National Rugby League (NRL) side Wests Tigers.

He will team up with former Tigers colleagues Shane Elford and John Skandalis at Huddersfield.

"I'm really excited about this move. It's been an ambition of mine to play in England for some time and this was an opportunity that was too good to miss," Lolesi told AFP.

Huddersfield coach John Sharp added that Lolesi is a player that has made a big impression in the NRL and he expected him to have a similar impact in Super League, the report concluded.
