Hull FC signed experienced centre Zak Hardaker from Leigh Leopards at the end of the 2024 Betfred Super League campaign.

A winner of two Challenge Cup titles, three Grand Finals, and a Super League Dream Team member on two occasions, Hardaker brings a wealth of knowledge of the game to the table.

Coming through as a youngster, he cut his professional teeth with local side Featherstone Rovers in 2010.

He was recognised as one of the stars of a dominant Leeds Rhinos side in the early to mid 2010s, before securing a move to the NRL with Penrith Panthers.

In 2017, Hardaker helped Castleford Tigers win the League Leaders’ Shield, before further spells with Wigan Warriors, Leeds and Leigh Leopards.

In partnership with Hull FC Community Foundation, Zak is a Players’ Project ambassador for Ahead Of The Game (mental health support).
