Jacob Douglas turned out for Wigan Warriors before a move to arch rivals St Helens in the close season

Huddersfield Giants have signed winger Jacob Douglas from St Helens on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old joined Saints from rivals Wigan Warriors at the end of last season following the conclusion of his contract at the Brick Community Stadium.

After suffering an injury in pre-season, Douglas is yet to make his debut for Saints having now returned to full fitness.

He is available for Huddersfield's clash against former club Wigan on Saturday (15:00 GMT) in Super League.

"Jacob brings a tenacious approach to his game, he is quick and strong, and will enhance any scoring opportunities in the game this weekend," Huddersfield's director of rugby Andy Kelly told the club website.
