European Championship.Roberts, 21, got his long-awaited chance with

Huddersfield back-row forward Oliver Roberts has been handed a new four-year contract, a month after making his debut. Roberts joined the Giants from Bradford on a two-year deal following the Bulls relegation from Super League in 2014 but failed to break into their Super League team last season, although he played for Ireland in the 2015 European Championship.Roberts, 21, got his long-awaited chance with Huddersfield following the departure of England international Brett Ferres and, after appearing in all three matches so far, has committed his future to the club to the end of 2019. I think the time away with Ireland really helped my game as I did stall a bit with not playing last year for various reasons but now I hope the week in week out game time will really help me push on and that I can help the team back up the league table, he said.Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson, whose side is still looking for their first win, said: There is no doubt in my mind that Ollie has lots of improvements to come in his game and is someone the club should invest in long term. All the action from the Super League clash between Huddersfield and Widnes He was unlucky last year with game time but he never complained about the situation and simply got his head down and worked hard for his chance to come.He came back into pre-season with renewed confidence after doing well with Ireland and has taken the chance in the team he was given with some decent performances to date.His challenge is to keep improving physically and skill wise and to keep his place in the side when our more experienced guys return.We have always been a club that has given chances to young British players who are hungry to succeed and Ollie fits the bill so it will be good for us all to know that hes around for the long term now.
