Sneyd ready to build a career at Hull FC

Hull FC have confirmed that Marc Sneyd will be joining them from Salford for the 2015 season.

The 23-year-old halfback, currently on loan at Castleford Tigers, has been enjoying a fine season. He has scored five tries and notched 64 goals, using a unique kicking style.

While Salford owner Dr Marwan Koukash recently stated he was keen to keep the player, Hull have agreed a transfer fee with the Red Devils.

He joins the Airlie Birds on what they describe as a “long-term contract”, and confirm that they also beat two rival Super League clubs to the player’s signature.

“I liked the opportunity at Hull FC because everything I have seen and heard really appealed to me,” said Sneyd.

“It looks like a good challenge for me and a club that wants to go places. It’s exciting to know I can be part of that.

“I hope I can build a career here. There seems to be a good mix of youth and experience at the club and hopefully I can help out there as well.

“There are some great players, Gareth Ellis and Jamie Shaul to name just two. That quality and experience in the squad is something that will be a massive thing in developing my game.

“Lee Radford seems to know what we he wants and where he wants to take the club which was very exciting to hear as a player.

“It’s a side where I feel I can achieve something as an individual and as a team. Things seem to be heading in a positive direction.
