HUDDERSFIELD Giants star Jim Gannon is British - and proud of it.

The Australian rugby league player completed his citizenship move at a swearing-in ceremony in Halifax yesterday.

The player was joined at the event by his wife Emma and family members. He is now officially British.

He was among the first group in Calderdale to be granted British citizenship, when he pledged loyalty to his adopted country.

Gannon, 26, arrived in England in 1999 and lives in Elland.
