Shenton Names Academy Squad To Face Giants

The Academy 19-man squad to face Huddersfield Under 18s

Centre of Excellence News

Michael Shenton has named a 19-man squad to face Huddersfield Giants Under 18s at Laund Hill tomorrow afternoon (12.00pm kick-off).

It has been almost a month since Hull’s Academy were last in action after their game against Wigan at the end of April was postponed, so Shenton’s side remain unbeaten in 2022.

Last time out, the Black & Whites’ Academy came up trumps in the Derby against Hull KR Under 18s.


Denive Balmforth, who scored a try for Hull FC on his senior debut in a 48-12 win against Toulouse Olympique last Saturday, is included in Shenton’s 19-man squad to face the Giants.

There is just one change to the 19-man squad from the side that faced Hull KR on Good Friday, with Logan Radford returning from injury.

Mason Opie-Palmer misses out through an injury sustained in that Derby affair.

The full 19-man squad to face Huddersfield is as follows:

Kye Armstrong

Denive Balmforth

Lennon Bursell

Zach Jebson

Matty Laidlaw

Junior Mafi

Lewis Martin

Keiran Masike

Sully Medforth

Logan Moy

Alfie Oldridge

Logan Radford

Sam Richards

Callum Shaw

Charlie Stipetic

Manoa Wacokecoke

Jensen Wainwright-Matson

Brandon Wright

Finley Yeaman
