Wakefield Trinity winger Lee Kershaw is available with Leeds Rhinos boss Rohan Smith confirming that the club don’t have a spot to sign the winger despite the fact he has been training with the club.
But there are a number of Super League clubs who could look to sign the winger including Hull FC. Owner Adam Pearson revealed earlier in the off season that they were interested in signing another outside back and Kershaw would fit the bill and would be a magnificent replacement for Adam Swift following his move to Huddersfield Giants.
The club will likely explore a move for the Wakefield winger but have already spent a lot of their salary cap on new signings many of which have been superb pieces of recruitment.
Hull FC’s latest overseas arrival, Herman Ese’ese, can’t wait to play in front of a Hull FC home crowd that he has already heard so much about.
The forward, who spent 2023 with the Dolphins in their maiden NRL campaign, arrived in the UK just under a fortnight ago, linking up with fellow imports Franklin Pele and Jayden Okunbor – they will shortly be joined by Fa’amanu Brown.
It’s always a big culture change for players making the transition from Australia to England. The cold Christmases, a different way of life, and playing in front supporters who are the very definition of tribal.
Speaking to hullfc.com for the first time since his arrival, Ese’ese has revealed that he has already been tipped up about how passionate the Black & White supporters are.
“The main thing I’ve been told about the Hull FC fans is just how passionate they are,” he said.
“They wear their heart on their sleeves with pride and they’re fully bought into the club, which is really refreshing to see.
“All I want to do is play good footy for a rowdy bunch of fans and I’m really looking forward to getting started in February.
“I’ve heard that the Hull Derby in Round One is going to be like a State of Origin match! It’s going to be a massive, special occasion and I’m so excited for it.”
Although all roads lead to Round One in the Betfred Super League campaign, which is just under two months away, there are still plenty of boxes for Hull’s playing group to tick off and that is what Ese’ese and others are working towards.
