Hull FC are pleased to confirm that Yusuf Aydin has signed permanently with the club, in a deal that sees Jack Brown depart the Black & Whites.
Aydin, who was already on loan with the club from Hull KR, has signed a two-and-a-half year deal which keeps him at the MKM Stadium until the end of the 2026 season.
The 23-year old Turkish international has made two appearances while on loan with the club over the past fortnight against Leeds and Warrington.
The prop, who came through the ranks of the Wakefield Trinity academy before making his debut in 2020, has 54 senior appearances under his belt and will strengthen the Airlie Birds forward options over the coming seasons.
Speaking to hullfc.com, Aydin said: “I’m really looking forward to staying with Hull FC on a permanent deal.
“Right from the get go, everyone made me feel so welcome and not once did I feel out of place.
“Simon [Grix] and Richie [Myler] were keen to bring me to the club and that gave me so much confidence. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and I want to be able to repay them for their faith in me.
“I’m really eager now to give my all for this club and I look forward to playing in the famous Black & White colours front of a really passionate, loyal group of supporters.”
As part of the deal, the club have confirmed the departure of forward Jack Brown having signed for Hull KR.
After making his debut in 2019, Brown has gone on to make 73 senior appearances for the Black & Whites.
The club would like to thank Jack for his efforts over the past five-and-a-half seasons, and wish him the very best of luck for the future.
Hull FC’s Director of Rugby, Richie Myler, said: “We’re delighted to have made Yusuf’s move to us permanent.
“His application of the past fortnight has shown a real desire to compete and be a part of what we are building here.
“We’d also like to wish Jack well for the future as he embarks on a new challenge with Hull KR, and thank him for his efforts with Black & Whites.”
