Delighted Giants' Fulton will be back for massive Rhinos clash: Brown

Jun 9 2009 by John Knighton, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

LIAM FULTON is poised to make his Giants return in Sunday’s Super League clash at Leeds Rhinos.

The 24-year-old Australian utility man has not played since suffering a knee injury in the 30-8 victory at Hull KR on Easter Monday.

That was just the second game for Fulton in a Giants shirt after making a try-scoring debut in the home win over Celtic Crusaders.

But Brown has hinted the former Wests Tigers man could return at Headingley if he gets another good week’s training under his belt, and he has ruled out giving him a game in the Reserves to prove his match fitness.

“All being well, Liam will be back,” confirmed Brown, who has Fulton with him until the end of the season when he is expected to resume his playing career in the Australian NRL.

“And we’re keen to see him playing in Super League at the earliest possible opportunity, because we didn’t bring him all the way over from Australia after the start of the season just to play reserve grade!
