New deal as Giants star battles back
Simpson burst on to the scene in 2015, but has since had a frustrating time with injuries. He is now fully fit following a knee problem and said: “I’m over the moon and very grateful to (coach) Rick Stone for the opportunity.
“He has stuck by me and saw how hard I worked in the off season and it was really frustrating that I injured my medial knee ligament in the pre-season trial against Bradford.

“I’m going to train hard and hopefully now I’m back for good. I just want to help the boys out whether that is in training or on the pitch playing and I would love to get back out on the field as soon as possible.
“Rick has put a lot of faith in me and when I get back out on the field I intend to repay him and the fans who have been so supportive.”
Stone said: “Everyone loves Jared and what he stands for.
“He’s a local bloke who just loves playing for the team and the town which is a really impressive trait.

“He’s back now and training well and he’s available for selection this week and will come into the mix.”
