NEW signing James Evans has given the thumbs-up to his new life as a Huddersfield Giant.

The Australian marked his debut with a very solid and accomplished Super League performance against the City Reds at The Willows.

And it's a display that makes him believe he'll enjoy his rugby league in Huddersfield.

"For a first go, I was fairly pleased," he said. "I know there's a long way to go and improvement to be made, but it was nice to start with a win."
