"Coming through the academy ranks here at Kingsholm, it really does feel like home," he told the club's website.
"We've got a good thing going here, and there are exciting times ahead, so it was a really easy decision in the end to sign a new deal.
"Wearing the Cherry and White and playing in front of the Kingsholm faithful is always a privilege, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so in the future."

GWS star recruit embraces 'interesting' super-sub role
GWS star recruit Jake Stringer has breathed new life into his first season with the Giants thanks to an unlikely role, as a super substitute. The 31-year-old had struggled to find form at his third AFL club after spending the pre-season recovering from illness, only to injure his hamstring twice in three months. But in a memorable pre-bye return against Gold Coast, after six weeks on the sidelines, Stringer kicked the match-winning goal to set up GWS's seven-point victory. Stringer entered the fray far earlier than expected at Engie Stadium, having been subbed on in the second quarter after teammate Lachie Whitfield sustained a concussion. But the star forward, who has tallied 377 goals from 220 AFL games, never lost confidence in his body's ability to hold up. JAKE STRINGER 🤯#AFLGiantsSuns — AFL (@AFL) June 22, 2025 "The plan was obviously to be the sub, pretty much from the start," he told AAP. "But I'd done a power of work over the last five weeks, so I knew if I was going to be called on early I was ready to go. "I definitely felt good out there, and felt like I had my speed and power. I was lucky enough to hit the scoreboard late, and get a good win." The 2016 premiership player slotted two crucial goals in the final quarter as GWS snatched the win, having trailed by 29 points earlier in the game. "It was my first goal here (at Engine Stadium) in the Giants' colours. I knew there was someone coming so I knew I had to kick it hard," he said. "As soon as it come off the boot, I knew it wasn't missing. "It was good to get one late finally and back it up a couple minutes later." Stringer notably booted three goals, his best effort as a Giant, while serving as the sub in a round-eight SCG derby loss. "It's an interesting role, but I seem to find a good balance in being able to do it," Stringer said. "But it's like anything, I just try and make my moments matter when I have the ball, or when the ball's in my vicinity." It has been a stop-start season for the Giants but victories over the Suns and Brisbane Lions provided a major morale and momentum boost ahead of their round-16 bye. "It's massive to be able to get a win going into the bye," Stringer said. "We really wanted to finish the last two games off really well and we've done that ... we'll get ready for a charger back-half of the season."

Michael Jordan Trolls Giants Legend Lawrence Taylor on Golf Course
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Golf has long been the go-to playground for big names, where often legends like Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and Steph Curry trade stadium lights for fairways and friendly banter. But sometimes, those actions on the greens become the stage for unforgettable moments. That's exactly what happened this week when NBA icon Michael Jordan rolled up on NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and turned a casual reunion into a viral comedy sketch.

(Image collage | Getty Images) Getty Images The encounter took place during a casual round at Jordan's exclusive club, Grove XXIII, on Thursday. Jordan, dressed in Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red, pulled up in his cart and greeted Taylor with a warm hug. "How you doin'?" Jordan asked. "Alright," Taylor replied. "Just hangin' in there." The two North Carolina legends shared a quick embrace before Jordan turned to greet the rest of the group. But just as he was about to drive off, he spotted Taylor's footwear, black slip-on shoes with black socks, and couldn't resist. "Man, you really doing motherf***ing relaxing on my golf course!" Jordan quipped, pointing at Taylor's shoes. The entire group, including Taylor, burst into laughter as Jordan sped off in his cart. Taylor, never one to back down, fired back with a grin, joking about Jordan's retirement leisurewear. "Seriously, you so relaxed like a motherf*****," Taylor joked. The moment, caught on video, quickly went viral across social media platforms, with fans loving the rare glimpse of two GOATs trading jabs. This is awesome: Michael Jordan pulled up on Lawrence Taylor while playing golf and immiedialy started talking sh*t. Just two GOATs having fun 😂🐐 — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) June 27, 2025 Jordan's golf course antics are nothing new. From betting on 50-foot putts to trash-talking Charles Barkley mid-round, his airness has built a second legacy on the links. "I kind of got into golf mainly because, from a competitive standpoint, to me, it is the hardest game to play," he once said. "For a competitive person like me, this is what keeps me sane." Talking about the bond between Jordan and Taylor, it runs deep. As Taylor was preparing to leave UNC for the NFL in 1981, Jordan was just arriving on campus to begin his basketball journey. "We played a lot of pickup, hung out a lot," Taylor told the New York Post in 2020. "He's probably the most competitive person I know. He'll bet on a 50-foot putt and make it nine times out of ten."
