Two Forces rugby league rivals will line up alongside each other this season for Super League team Huddersfield Giants.

The club announced the double signing of the British Army's Skye Jackson and the RAF's Grace Burnett on their website today.

Jackson was a key carrier in attack for the Army as they swept both the RAF and the Navy aside to retain their Inter Services crown.

Burnett has Super League experience already having played 13 times for Warrington Wolves last season, scoring once.
