Jamie Ellis enjoying "tough" pre-season with Huddersfield Giants

Summer signing Jamie Ellis has revealed that he is enjoying a "tough" pre-season with new club Huddersfield Giants.

The half-back, 24, joined the Giants from Castleford Tigers last month on a two-year deal.

While admitting that the club's training regime is proving rigorous, Ellis is feeling at home with Huddersfield.

"Pre-season has been pretty tough so far but I am really enjoying it," he told their official website. "We have been doing a lot of running and wrestling work so far and we have got more running and wrestling to come this week. It is similar training to what I have done at other clubs before but it has been really good.

"They are all really good lads here. All of them have been really good to me so far and I've already made some friends here. I'm really enjoying being here."

Ellis moved to Huddersfield following a two-year spell with Castleford.
