Jensen Poised for Giants Move



Huddersfield Giants are set to complete the signing of Rod Jensen from North Queensland Cowboys.

The 28-year-old has been released by the Cowboys and is awaiting a work permit before flying to England to conclude the transfer.

The Giants, who on Wednesday tied down Eorl Crabtree to a new contract, have room under the salary cap following the departure of Paul Smith earlier in the season.

"Rod Jensen is a player we've been looking at for two or three years now," said Huddersfield football manager Stuart Sheard.

Jensen, who scored 36 tries in 103 appearances in the NRL, is joining Super League's form team, with the Giants winning their last seven matches.

Cowboys chief executive Peter Parr said: "Rod is a highly regarded member of the club and this community so the decision to release him was a very difficult and contentious one.

"In the same breath the opportunity for Rod to pursue a future in England was right and we did not want to rob him of that request."
