Tanguy Zenon signs new one-year Huddersfield Giants deal for 2027
Huddersfield Giants have kept Tanguy Zenon for the 2027 season on a new one-year contract.
The 24-year-old Frenchman is a utility back. That means he can play in several positions across the back line, from full-back to centre to wing. Coaches value that flexibility. It keeps options open when injuries hit or form dips.
Zenon joined Huddersfield in February after a short spell with Halifax Panthers. He went on to make 12 appearances and scored three tries, BBC Sport reported. In rugby league, a try is the main score. It is worth four points and is awarded for touching the ball down in the in-goal area beyond the try-line.
His first stay was always meant to be brief. He signed on 25 February 2026 on a deal that ran only until the end of the season. That short-term chance gave both sides time to have a look at each other. He did enough to earn more time.
Huddersfield confirmed the extension in an official announcement titled "ZENON COMMITS TO ONE GIANT FUTURE". Zenon said he is really happy to stay with the Giants for 2027, according to Huddersfield Giants. The message was simple. He wants to keep building in West Yorkshire.
The move is also reflected on Super League's central 2026 signing news page, which lists Zenon with Huddersfield. That tracker pulls together confirmed deals across the division. It is a useful check for supporters following ins and outs.
The decision follows a tough campaign for the club. Huddersfield finished 12th in Super League after losing 19 of their 27 matches. Super League is the top professional division for clubs in England and France. A 27-game regular season tests depth as much as star power.
For fans, this means continuity and cover in one package. A long season brings knocks, suspensions and dips in form. Retention matters after a losing year. Keeping a player who already knows the systems saves bedding-in time. A young, mobile back who can slot in wide or at the back and still finish chances eases that strain. Huddersfield will hope a full pre-season helps him push on.
