Giant Lunt will take second chance

Oct 7 2008 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

SHAUN LUNT is hoping it’s second time lucky when he embarks on a Super League career at the Giants.

The 21-year-old former Workington Town hooker last week signed a three-year Galpharm deal.

Lunt had hoped to carve out a top-flight career at Castleford when he moved to the Tigers as a 16-year-old.

But despite playing a number of National League games which helped Castleford earn promotion to Super League, Lunt was released in 2005.

He admitted the decision came as a major blow, but having spent three highly successful years at Workington – he was twice named National League Young Player of the Year – he believes he’s now ready to finally seize a Super League chance.
