He's still got a long road back to fitness but new signing Jake Trueman reckons Hull’s the ideal place for him to come of age as a Super League star.
The prodigiously talented stand-off is one of the big movers ahead of the 2023 campaign following his switch from Castleford. But he’s been crocked since rupturing an ACL with the Tigers in July meaning he will miss the start of the new season. Trueman was the 2018 Super League Young Player of the Year and went on tour with Great Britain the following year but, for a variety of reasons, has struggled to kick on since.
Major back surgery sidelined him for a long spell but he feels confident the Black and Whites can bring the best out of him. Trueman explained: “I felt like I was going to kick on last year when I’d come back from my back injury only for my knee to go. I’m 23 now and I do feel I have to step up now. I need to put some back to back seasons together, some good performances and I think Hull is the right place for me to do that.”
