Giants sign Grix from Wakefield

Grix has previously had spells at Widnes, Leigh and Warrington

Huddersfield Giants have signed utility man Scott Grix from Wakefield Wildcats.

The 25-year-old, who captained Ireland at the 2008 World Cup, has signed a two-year deal at the Galpharm Stadium.

Grix told BBC Radio Leeds: "I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking to progress my career and I can't think of anywhere better to do it.

"If I can improve as much as the whole squad at Huddersfield has improved under [coach] Nathan Brown, then I'll be happy."

Grix, who had spells at Widnes, Leigh and Warrington, can play in a number of positions including full-back, wing, stand-off and loose-forward.

The Giants become the eighth professional club of his career, and he hopes that the move will be beneficial for all involved.

"I have had a few clubs over the years but I think every one of the moves I've made has been a positive one and one to improve myself," Grix added.

"With the way they [Huddersfield] perform on the pitch, it's going to be a big season for me.
