Leeds have confirmed that Huddersfield forward Shaun Lunt will join the Rhinos for the rest of the season.
The England international still has three-and-a-half years left on his Giants contract but due to his lack of regular first-team action has been allowed to join the Headingley side for the remainder of the Super League campaign.
Rhinos coach Brian McDermott was delighted with the deal and believes the 25-year-old is an astute acquisition.
"Shaun is a player we have monitored for a while and he will give us strength in depth in a number of positions in the forwards as we enter a tough period of the season," he said.
"He has been a quality player for Huddersfield over a number of years appearing in the Challenge Cup Final and representing England, and I know he is excited about the challenge of coming to Leeds and showing what he can do at the highest level."
