English club Huddersfield is set to sign Newcastle enforcer James Gavet for next season.

The 29-year-old Samoan international is under contract to the Knights for 2020, but the club won't stand in his way after he was offered a lucrative contract by the Giants.

After being an inconsistent performer at the New Zealand Warriors in recent years, Gavet resurrected his career at the Knights this season, playing 18 games and making a real impact.

Huddersfield's coach Simon Woolford - who did a grand job keeping the battling Giants in Super League this year - was in Australia recently talking to players and agents before deciding Gavet was the man to take his club forward.
