Hull coach Brett Hodgson said of the 23-year-old: “To add an international level player is a real positive. He has some great deception out of dummy-half and brings some speed and awareness to that department – and he’s at a good age with his best years ahead of him”

Joe Lovodua is set to join Hull in 2022
Hull have signed Fiji international hooker Joe Lovodua from South Sydney for 2022.
The 23-year-old, who can also play centre and back row, appeared in four of Fiji’s five World Cup matches in 2017 as they reached the semi-finals.
Hull coach Brett Hodgson said: “Joe is a player we’ve had an eye on for quite a while and we’re really pleased to have him tied down for next season.
“To add an international level player is a real positive. He has some great deception out of dummy-half and brings some speed and awareness to that department – and he’s at a good age with his best years ahead of him.”
Lovodua said: “This is an extremely exciting move for myself. It’ll be my first time heading over to England so I can’t wait to get over there and crack on with pre-season.
“Having played most of my club career in the New South Wales Cup, I feel like this is a really big chance for myself to move my career forward and showcase what I am capable of.”
