Jake Connor Getting Back to His Best with Huddersfield Giants: Super League Play-off Hopefuls Face St Helens

Jake Connor is feeling like he is back to his best after a challenging first year back at Huddersfield Giants. The Betfred Super League play-off hopefuls are gearing up to face St Helens on Thursday, with every Super League match in 2024 available to watch live on Sky Sports.

Connor’s return to Huddersfield in 2023 did not go as planned, with both him and the team failing to meet expectations. However, after a delayed start to the current season due to knee surgery, Connor is now hitting his stride. The Giants are among the play-off contenders and have a Betfred Challenge Cup semi-final on the horizon.

“I feel like I’m building,” Connor told Sky Sports. “Last year was a struggle for me; it was a new team, I had two operations coming into it and I wasn’t bang at it, and I knew that.”

The versatile full-back, who previously found success with Hull FC, is eager to recapture his form and potentially earn more international recognition. Despite being overlooked by England head coach Shaun Wane, Connor remains focused on performing at his best for Huddersfield.

The Giants are coming off a thrilling 30-24 victory over Leeds Rhinos, showcasing their resilience and determination. Head coach Ian Watson believes there is still room for improvement as they prepare to face St Helens.

With the play-offs as a minimum target for Huddersfield, Connor and his teammates are taking each game as it comes, focusing on continuous improvement. The upcoming clash against St Helens promises to be a tough test, but the Giants are ready to rise to the challenge.
