The ambitious Giants are thought to have beaten off competition from a host of other Super League clubs, including Wigan, to land the 22-year-old, who was sacked by Canberra Raiders following the latest in a series of alcohol-fuelled incidents.

Carney, who will join the Yorkshire club in December, said: "I see this move as a fresh start for me away from the issues in the NRL and I can't wait to get cracking."

He added: "I asked my manager to get me to a club that can win things and the ambition shown by Huddersfield has convinced me that they can do just that.

"Along with Brett Hodgson who I know from the NRL, they have other international players in key positions and a whole host of established British players ready to take the next step forward and make the club a real force in the Super League.

"I would like to thank the club for having the confidence in me and I look forward to repaying that on and off the field for them and getting back into training and playing the game I love."

Huddersfield had to secure permission from the Rugby Football League before completing the signing of Carney but new head coach Nathan Brown, a fellow Australian, is delighted with the move.

"There is no doubting Todd's ability," said Brown, who is due in England next month after completing his spell as coach of St George Illawarra.

"He will bring a new dimension to the Giants' play and to the engage Super League as a whole.

"We were in the market for a half and to get the lad that I believe is an outstanding talent is a massive boost to the club."
