Profile

Hull-born hooker Danny Houghton made his debut for the Black and Whites back in 2007 and has since become an integral part of the starting XIII.

The number nine’s name is in a highly prestigious Steve Prescott Man of Steel winners list after scooping the award in 2016.

The veteran hooker has earned plaudits from far & wide across the game for his 80-minute displays and incredible defensive statistics.

A member of the Super League Dream Team in 2016, Houghton finished as Super League’s top tackler in 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022 whilst featuring in the top three in 2012, 2014 and 2018.

In the 2022 season, Houghton surpassed Brian Hancock to become Hull FC’s leading living appearance maker, whilst also breaking into the top ten all-time appearance makers for the Black & Whites.
