Huddersfield have handed a three-year contract to the man credited with playing a key role in their resurgent form.
Australian Mark Andrews rejoined the Giants as head of performance on a short-term basis following the sacking of head coach Rick Stone at the end of March, with the team next to bottom of Super League.
Working initially with interim head coach Chris Thorman and then new boss Simon Woolford, Andrews helped transform the fortunes of Huddersfield, who have won 11 of their last 12 matches.
Giants managing director Richard Thewlis said: "The impact of Mark has been clear to see from the outside and it's even more marked internally here when you see the work he does day to day.
"We must remember he came here without a written contract on just a handshake to a club that was at that time struggling but it is a club that's in his heart and he wanted to help us.
"He desperately wants Huddersfield to succeed and immediately he came in he made changes that the players and fellow coaches bought into and I was personally delighted when Simon said he wanted him to stay longer and be part of his team longer term."
Andrews had a spell with Huddersfield in 2009 and 2010.
