Hull FC release Fijian forward on personal grounds

Hull FC have announced that they are releasing Kane Evans from his contract.

The Black and Whites haven’t been on the best form this season and Evans lost his place in the squad earlier on in the year.

There was plenty of speculation surrounding the big forward and the club have now confirmed his departure.

In a statement on their website the Airlie Birds announced the news.

“Hull FC can confirm that Kane Evans has been released from his contract by mutual consent.

“Evans will return to Australia for personal reasons.

“The club wishes him well for the future.”

Evans had arrived in Hull prior to the 2022 season but in this, his second season he’s struggled to make the same impact.

Prior to his Super League career he had impressed with Sydney Roosters, Parramatta Eels before a short sting with New Zealand Warriors rounded off his NRL career before his release.

Whether he’ll make a return to the NRL is unclear at the moment given that the release has been granted due to personal reasons.

Evans would have been off contract at the end of the season anyway.
