The game, which will see the traditional Infirmary Cup awarded to the winners, will be a testimonial fixture for the Giants’ England winger Jermaine McGillvary.

The Giants are expected to field a strong side in recognition of McGillvary’s service to his hometown club.

Fax will also play Championship rivals York the following week on Sunday, January 19 with a 3pm kick off at Bootham Crescent.

The club are also believed to be in negotiations with another Super League club with the aim of playing a third fixture, this time at the Shay, on the first weekend in January.
