GIANT STEPS

Hewitt’s back ready to boost Huddersfield’s quest for glory

- DAVE CRAVEN

Huddersfield v Wigan 3pm FIT-AGAIN Sam Hewitt has timed his run to perfection as Huddersfield bid to fire on both fronts.

The hard-working secondrow has missed the last seven games due to a freak training ground incident.

But he returns as Giants face champions Wigan in today's intriguing Super League tussle.

And Hewitt, who this week signed a new three-year deal, plans to show he's straight back up to speed for next Sunday's Challenge Cup semi-final against Warrington. He said: "I'm buzzing. I've been itching to get back for a week or two.

"I was gutted with the injury, especially the way it happened. It was in training but there was no one around me.

"I just turned to get back onside and wasn't touched by anyone but ended up snapping my ankle ligament and needing surgery.
