Son of Wigan Warriors star officially joins Super League club

Hull FC have confirmed their 2024 playing rosters for their Academy, Scholarship and Development sides – part of the club’s ‘Outstanding’ rated Centre of Excellence.

The Centre of Excellence is the overarching pathway for the club’s development programmes, combining top-class coaching and facilities with tailored education and mentorship.

The Category 1 ‘Outstanding’ rated Centre of Excellence consists of all of the club’s youth squads, with the squads that make up the club’s Women & Girls, and Disability pathways, to be finalised in the New Year.

With this confirmation we can see that the club have officially signed the son of former Wigan Warriors, Salford Red Devils and Hull FC star Iafeta Paleaaesina, Caleb.

Paleaaesina finished his Super League career with the Black and Whites so it is no surprise to see his son elect to join them.

Of course, this is an exciting moment for all those named at the famous club’s academy and many will soon be regarded as Super League stars no doubt and Serious About Rugby League wishes them all well.
