Obst cleared to play

Hull FC’s new signing Sam Obst has been given clearance to play in tonight’s Super League clash with Leeds Rhinos.

The former Sydney Roosters scrum half join Hull from Wakefield this week and despite being named provisionally in Richard Agar’s 19-man squad for the clash he has still been awaiting official paperwork.

However, he has now received his necessary visa documentation and received clearance from the RFL to take his place in the squad and he will make his debut at the KC Stadium this evening.
