CONNOR'S BACK FOR GOOD

Exciting Giants star ends injury jinx and targets a successful return to where it all began

- DAVE CRAVEN

HUDDERSFIELD'S has missed rugby league more than he ever imagined possible - and reckons he will get even better now he is returning.

One of Super League's most exciting players, the controversial England international ends nearly seven months of frustration against St Helens tonight.

Fully recovered from major knee surgery, it will be his first Giants appearance since leaving them for Hull FC in 2016.

Connor went on to earn full international honours, win a Challenge Cup and torment defenders galore with the Black and Whites.

But after rejoining Huddersfield in October, the gifted stand-off is back where it all started and ready to turn Ian Watson's side into title contenders.

Connor admitted: "It's been tough. It's been a new one for me. I've had injuries before but nothing long-term like this - six and a half months.
