HUDDERSFIELD Giants have not signed Chris Thorman.

Hull coach Jon Kear has claimed the former Giants half-back is close to re-signing after reports in Australia that he is leaving Parramatta Eels after less than one season.

But Giants officials are remaining tightlipped over Kear's comments, with nothing to indicate a deal is about to be done.

"We have heard all the rumours and speculation," said Giants general manager Richard Thewlis.

"But the policy at this club is never to comment on speculation."

Huddersfield are, however, bound to be linked with Thorman, who has made no secret of his affection for the McAlpine club.
