Huddersfield Giants have allowed forward Jack Murchie to leave the club – opening the door for them to bring in Leeds Rhinos half-back Matt Frawley.
The Giants are considering signing the Australian half-back for the second time to replace Adam Clune, who suffered a hamstring injury in last weekend’s loss to the Wigan Warriors.
The Rhinos are eager to let Frawley leave, but in order to do so, they had to release an overseas player because they had reached their limit.
Murchie has shown to be that player.
The forward was under contract until the end of next season, having joined Huddersfield on a three-year deal at the start of the 2024 season.
However, the Giants have granted him a release, and he will now return to Australia.
Andy Kelly, the director of rugby for Huddersfield, commented: “We’re always appreciative of a player who comes over and gives their best for the Giants, we’re sympathetic to the reasons why Jack wants to go home and we’ve worked together to ensure that happens, we wish him the very best of luck.”
All Out Rugby League revealed earlier this week that Frawley was due to join Huddersfield on loan.
That would give them a lift as they prepare for another period without Clune, their crucial half-back, who appears to have sustained another injury.
It also leaves Leeds with a quota space to use for the rest of the season.
