Hull FC have locked in their squad numbers for the 2026 Super League season, confirming the structure of a roster that blends returning experience, new signings, and a sizeable group of emerging forwards.
Headlining the list is Will Pryce, who retains the number 1 jersey and continues as the club’s long-term fullback project. The homegrown talent remains central to Hull’s rebuild and will again carry a major attacking load in 2026.
Former NRL half Jake Arthur stays in the number 6 jumper, partnering Aidan Sezer in the halves after the veteran playmaker was officially named at 7. The experience of Sezer paired with Arthur’s developing game management gives Hull a stable spine heading into the new season.
In the middle, Herman Ese’ese (8), John Asiata (13), and Sam Lisone (16) form the core of a heavy-duty rotation built to compete physically with the competition’s elite packs. The inclusion of Jed Cartwright in the number 12 jersey adds an edge-running presence, while Joe Batchelor (11) strengthens the back-row depth ahead of what is expected to be a high-workload year.
New arrival Yusuf Aydin is handed number 20 after joining from Wakefield, while young prop Ryan Westerman (31) and forward Matty Laidlaw (25) are among the names expected to push aggressively for more first-grade minutes.
Veteran winger Tom Briscoe takes number 19, while Zak Hardaker remains in the number 4 role, offering experience and versatility across the backline.
