Mahe Fonua ready to spread wings with Airlie Birds

Hull FC new boy Mahe Fonua is looking forward to his time at the KC Stadium, with preseason at the club now in full swing.

The former Melbourne Storm threequarter, a Tongan international, is settling in well in East Yorkshire, and is determined to help make his new club successful.

“When I first signed I saw the opportunity to spread my wings,” Fonua told the Hull Daily Mail.

“My only club has been Melbourne Storm and coming to Hull will give me a chance to mature as a person and as a player.

“I saw and heard of Hull’s plans and what they are trying to do.

“It’s exciting times with the club trying to build foundations with a good core and some quality signings and I wanted to be a part of it.

“Sometimes you’ve got to back yourself and coming to this club is a great challenge for me and I can’t wait to get started.”
