Rugby League, 18:25, January 14, 2011 , | 1 Comment
Utility back Jamie Simpson has confirmed that he will be leaving the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the Huddersfield Giants.
The 24-year-old has struggled to nail down a place in the starting line-up for the Rabbitohs since the arrival of the Australian international Greg Inglis.
Simpson, who has scored 16 tries in 37 appearances for the NRL side, had a year left on his contract at South Sydney but he asked for the deal to be terminated to allow his move to England.
The talented player is excited about the prospect of playing in the Super League.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to heading to the Huddersfield Giants and starting the next phase of my football career.
"It's a great opportunity for me to play rugby league in other countries and experience the rest of world.
"I'm grateful to the Rabbitohs for the opportunities they've given me over the past three seasons both on and off the field."
