Hemingway signs new Giants deal Thu September 13, 2007 Source: www.giantsrl.com Huddersfield Giants 20-year-old goalkicking half-back Tom Hemingway has signed a new two-year deal with the Club. Giants Head Coach Jon Sharp was pleased to secure the services of Hemingway for the next two years: "Tom has been rewarded for supporting the first grade half backs who have played extremely well and have stayed healthy. Tom has been really patient and worked hard in training and has made a big contribution to the form of this team. When asked to step into the first team he has done extremely well and he will get more opportunities over the next couple of years. "Talentbuilder, the new fund raising arm of the club focuses on youngsters development and from this, plans are a foot to bring in the best local talents and the likes of Tom and Michael Lawrence are evidence that opportunities are there." Tom Hemingway said: "I'm absolutely delighted the club have kept me, I'm learning all the time, and working and training with such great players has been excellent for my development. As soon as it became clear the Giants were happy for me to stay, my mind was made up. "I know the club have just signed another class half-back in Luke Robinson, but that's not put me off at all. In the next two seasons, I'm absolutely determined to finally establish myself in the first team. It's going to be hard, I know that. But now the next two years are sorted out I can concentrate on rugby without any distractions." Giants Managing Director Richard Thewlis commented: "This is great news for the Club, Tom and his family and all of our young players in the club. It shows what can be achieved with continued hard work under the guidance of our coaching staff." "Whilst we have just launched our new Talentbuilder Scheme it is great for all to see that another locally produced Kirklees player has retained his first grade squad position for at least the next two years. Talentbuilder aims to highlight the progress of Tom and others such as Michael Lawrence, Richard Lopag, James Martin and Chris Lawson as beacons of achievement for young elite rugby league players." "The donations that we have received so far with the season ticket sales are very encouraging and will help us identify and develop the next Tom Hemingway's and Eorl Crabtree's of this world and hopefully further strengthen an already healthy UK and locally born academy products presence in our squad."
