New signing Mossop poised for Giants debut at Wakefield

May 20 2009 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

GIANTS chief Nathan Brown has confirmed new loan man Lee Mossop is in strong contention to make his debut in Sunday’s Super League clash at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

And the Wigan Warriors second-rower could be joined by Michael Lawrence, who was 18th man against Salford on Sunday after a two-try display against the City Reds in last weekend’s 56-10 Reserve Team Championship triumph.

Brown is expected to make changes to his senior squad after they suffered that 24-4 top-flight defeat to Salford at the Galpharm.

The Huddersfield chief is desperate for his side to re-discover their excellent early-season form, and he hopes the arrival of the 20-year-old Mossop (right) – and the potential return of Lawrence – will provide the spark.

“Lee is a player we have a high opinion of,” said Brown, who has been chasing Mossop for a couple of weeks.

“He is a good-size young lad and a player who can definitely go forward.

“He has nice footwork and can play in the middle and on the edge, and I have no doubt he is a player who can improve our squad and add some depth to it.
