Profile

Strong carrying prop forward Matty Laidlaw is a powerful front rower, difficult to bring to a halt.

Despite not being offered an Academy contract initially, Laidlaw impressed with some barnstorming performances through Hull FC’s college development side, eventually earning himself an Academy contract.

His impressive form continued into his debut Academy season in 2021, and in 2022, the prop forward was selected to represent Yorkshire Academy in the War of the Roses series.

In May 2022, Laidlaw was called up to the Rising Stars group to train with the first-team before making his Hull FC Super League debut against Hull KR at Magic Weekend in Newcastle.

The Hull Dockers junior can also play in the second row, whilst also able to call upon his ball playing capabilities in the loose forward role.
