He's been schooled by the legendary Johnathan Thurston but new signing Jake Clifford’s ready to be his own man at Hull FC.
The Australian stand-off, 25, debuted alongside iconic Kangaroos half-back Thurston for North Queensland Cowboys in 2018. There’s not many better players to learn from - although Clifford also came under the tutelage of Andrew Johns at Newcastle Knights last term. But he’s made the move from the NRL now with his first Betfred Super League game set to be Hull’s opener against Castleford on Sunday week.
“I just want to play a full season running a team and getting this side back in the finals,” said Clifford, with the Black and Whites embarrassed in ninth last term.
