Reports link Ben Crooks with Parramatta move

Correspondent

Ben Crooks is set to leave Hull FC and join up with NRL outfit Parramatta Eels, according to reports in East Yorkshire.

The Hull Daily Mail claims that a deal has been agreed to take the 21-year-old threequarter to Australia, where he will link up with former Hull coach Peter Gentle.

Crooks has struggled to find a first-team place in the last few months of this season, and has apparently always wanted to play in Australia.

He last played for the Black and Whites against Catalan Dragons in June, and has also spent significant time at Doncaster on a dual registration deal.
