Hull FC sign hometown full-back Bailey Hodgson for 2027

Hull FC have signed Hull-born full-back Bailey Hodgson, 23, on a two-year deal for the 2027 Betfred Super League season — their first confirmed addition for that campaign. Hodgson returned to England with Leigh Leopards in 2025 after NRL spells at Newcastle Knights and Manly Sea Eagles. He cited new head coach Steve McNamara as a key draw.
