Huddersfield Giants have tied Brett Ferres to a new contract, ending talk of a move to the NRL.

Brett Ferres has rejected a move to the NRL and penned a new contract with Huddersfield Giants.

The England international had drawn interest from teams in Australia, but the second rower has signed a new deal until 2019 with Super League side Giants.

"Huddersfield have been very good to me and since being here I've moved into the England set-up, which was one of my aims, and we've established ourselves at the top end of the table," Ferres told the Giants' website.

"I did have the option to go to the NRL at the end of this season but, with Huddersfield wanting me longer term and the security that brought with it to me and the family who are very settled here, I was only too happy to stay.

"I've enjoyed being in the leadership group here and I am certain that we have a very bright future which I want to play a leading role in."
