Liam Knight Remains a Hull FC Player in 2026

Liam Knight will remain a Hull FC player in 2026 after penning a one-year deal with the club. 

Knight has been ever-present since his arrival from the NRL in March, will remain with the Black & Whites until at least the end of the 2026 Betfred Super League campaign.

The former Manly, Canberra, Souths and Bulldogs man has made 18 appearances for the club to date, and has become a fan-favourite amongst the Faithful.

Knight will continue to form a threatening prop partnership with The Hermanator in 2026, strengthened by the addition of Sam Lisone who’s arrival next season was announced earlier this month.

Speaking on the announcement of his contract extension, Knight said: “I’m stoked to be staying here - I really love this club and I’m really excited to see what we can keep building over the next 12 months.

“I’ve really fallen in love with the fans and the atmosphere, both home and away - they’re so dedicated. I love the playing group we have here and the coaching staff too - it’s a fun place to come to work and that’s being reflected in our performances.

“It’s been a real ride so far - I got off the plane in March and jumped straight into it. I didn’t have much of a pre-season so the first few weeks were about building some fitness, and I feel like I’ve been building week to week and contributing to the team.

“I had a couple of tough years back home in regards to injury, so coming over to England was a bit of a clean slate for me. I’ve really found my love for the sport again so this move has been a massive blessing for me.”

Hull FC’s Director of Rugby, Gareth Ellis, said: “Liam has been one of our standout performers in 2025, and we’re absolutely delighted to confirm his place with us again in 2026.

“He has become one of the key cogs in our pack since he arrived in February with the way he carries himself both on and off the field. The impact he has had is unquestionable, and he’s a brilliant character to have around our squad - particularly our younger players.

“He has settled in well to life in the city, and we’re all looking forward to watching him continue in the Black & White jersey next season.”
