Huddersfield Giants forward Tyler Dickinson has confirmed he has signed a new deal at the club until 2019.

The 21-year-old has made a big impression at the club this season, with boss Rick Stone happy with his current progress.

Dickinson helped the club finish in the top eight and avoid a relegation fight despite a sloppy start to the campaign.

With forward Sam Rapira set to leave at the end of the season, Huddersfield have moved quickly to tie Dickinson down and the youngster admits he is delighted to remain at the John Smith's Stadium.

He told the club's official website: "It’s taken a lot of hard work to get to this point, but it finally feels like it’s paying off. To have an extra two years with the club and a bit of stability will give me the scope to work even harder to progress my career.

"My hopes are to continue and build on my nine appearances to date. I feel I've shown progression in those games and I think my last one against Hull was probably the best that I’ve played so I need to sustain that level, look to better it and hold down a regular spot in the side over the next couple of years."
