Huddersfield Giants have signed Fiji international Taane Milne from NRL side South Sydney Rabbitohs on a two-year deal.
The 29-year-old joins utility back Jacob Gagai and England international Tom Burgess in joining the Giants ahead of 2025.
Milne made 20 NRL appearances for the Rabbitohs last season and has played 88 games in the league having also represented St George Illawarra and the Warriors.
“I’m really excited to make the move over there, my partner will come eventually,” Milne said.
“It’s been a long process but I’m glad it’s done now and I can’t wait to get in to training and meet the boys. I was speaking to Tom Burgess, and he was talking good things about the club.”
Milne had his most successful season with Souths in 2022, scoring 10 tries in 22 games, and claimed 24 tries over his 69 appearances for the club until the end of 2024.
He will join the Giants’ pre-season preparations “in the coming weeks”, the club said, once his visa clearance has been obtained.
“I’m extremely confident that Taane will be an excellent addition to our squad and we are excited to have him join our club,” Giants chairman Ken Davy said.
“He performed extremely well in the recent internationals and we’re hoping he can continue that form in the Claret and Gold.”
