PROGRESSION AT UNIVERSITY OF HULL:
As part of the new partnership between Hull FC and the University of Hull, players and students can gain access to a variety of courses at degree level.
It’s a partnership which will also see students progress within their rugby within the University of Hull’s British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) team at the University coached by Hull FC staff. This pathway allows students at the university to work alongside the Hull FC player development pathway, which allows student athletes to remain within the minds of the professional game providing the opportunity for players who show commitment and impress within the university game to represent our Reserve team.
