Playing is my sold focus – fit-again Giant Fulton

Jun 13 2009 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

FIT-AGAIN Liam Fulton will not rule out prolonging his stay at the Giants at this stage.

The 24-year-old Australian utility man, has not played since suffering a knee injury in the Easter Monday win over Hull KR.

That was just his second game in the claret and gold following his mid-season move from top Australian NRL club Wests Tigers.

Former Australian Schoolboy international Fulton has only signed until the end of the season, and it’s widely anticipated he will be returning Down Under at the end of the campaign.

But the man himself is refusing to rule out anything and is focusing solely on getting back in action after an injury-wrecked start to his career in West Yorkshire.

“I genuinely haven’t thought about next year yet,” admitted Fulton, left.

“Because of the nightmare start I’ve had to my time here, all I’ve been focusing on is getting over my injury and regaining my fitness so I can get playing again.

“I honestly can’t afford to think about anything else. When the time comes, I’ll obviously make a decision, but that time hasn’t come just yet.

“As I said, all I want to do is put the last two month’s of frustration behind me and do what I can to help the Giants.

“We’re in a beautiful position in Super League and have a Challenge Cup semi-final to look forward to a bit further down the line, and I hope to play as full a part in what could be a fantastic finish to the season for us.

“I’m more than happy thinking about that right now.”
