Hull FC have activated one-year contract extensions for three of their best young players.
Loose forward Joe Cator, 24, centre Cam Scott, 23, and prop Jack Brown, 22, who will now all stay until at least the end of 2024. Cator, who joined his hometown club from Leigh, has overcome back-to-back ruptured Achilles that cruelly wiped out his last two campaigns. Ex-England Academy captain Scott has made 45 appearances since joining from Bradford in 2018, featuring eight times so far this season.
Bullish front-row Brown is the club’s reigning young player of the year and another player with a bright future having come through Hull’s academy system. Head coach Tony Smith, looking to fashion the squad in his own way after taking over ahead of this season, is delighted to see all three tie down their futures. He said: “Joe has gotten himself into a position where he’s getting plenty of game time and has got his fitness levels back up to where they’re capable of being after his injuries.
