Huddersfield Giants have strengthened their squad with the loan signing of Australian hooker Cole Geyer.

Geyer has joined the Giants until the end of the season after impressing in the Championship with Oldham, scoring five tries in 13 games since arriving in England from Queensland Cup side Burleigh Bears.

"I'm delighted to be at this club," he said. "I can't wait to get going and give Super League a crack.

"I'm a running nine and like to speed the game up and be on the back of quick rucks.

"Hopefully there are good times ahead for the group and myself."

Geyer – son of former Australia international Mark – will compete with Zac Woolford and Kieran Rush for the hooker role at Huddersfield.

Interim head coach Liam Finn is confident the new arrival will make the grade.

"He's ready for the step up to Super League and will add some quality to our squad," said Finn. "It hasn't been the biggest so it's a welcome addition.

"It's an opportunity for us to look at Cole and for him to see what Super League is like.

"We know he will put his best foot forward and prove he belongs in Super League."
