Daly Cherry-Evans’ Hull FC move CONFIRMED as Richie Myler offers first words

Daly Cherry-Evans will be a Hull FC player in 2027 – after officially signing a one-year deal with the Black and Whites.

The Sydney Roosters star will be one of Super League’s biggest ever imports after agreeing to join Steve McNamara’s side. He is one of the most sizeable signings in Hull FC’s history.

He starred again on Thursday morning with two tries in the Roosters’ win over Penrith Panthers, underlining how he can still perform at the highest level.

And he will now make Super League his home next year in what will likely be the final season of his career.

Hull CEO Richie Myler said: “This is an enormous moment for Hull FC. Daly Cherry-Evans is one of the great players of the modern era and there are very few players anywhere in world Rugby League with his record, experience, leadership and standing within the game.

“When a player of Daly’s stature decides that he wants to come to Super League and, specifically, wants to play for Hull FC, I think it says a great deal about where this club is heading.

“This is bigger than simply signing an outstanding half-back. We are bringing one of the most respected leaders in the sport of Rugby League into our organisation and somebody who has spent his entire career operating at the very highest level.

“His influence on our playing group, our younger players and the standards we are trying to create throughout Hull FC will be enormous.

“We have been very clear about our ambition for this club. We want Hull FC competing for the biggest honours in the game, we want world-class players representing this club and we want our supporters to be excited about what we are building. The signing of Daly is a very significant part of that journey.

“I also think this is a tremendous signing for the Super League. Attracting one of the biggest names in the NRL to England creates interest well beyond Hull and demonstrates that this competition can still attract genuinely world-class players.

“Our supporters have been magnificent in the way they have backed the club and I think this announcement shows them the scale of our ambition.

“We can’t wait to welcome Daly and his family to Hull and see him run out in Black & White in 2027.”
