- Fash pens three-year deal with hometown club.
- Deal keeps 27-year old at Hull until at least 2026.
- Fash “excited to be part of” Tony Smith’s plans.
Hull FC are pleased to announce that Brad Fash has signed a three-year contract extension with the Black & Whites!
Having been crowned the club’s Player of the Year in 2022 after his most impressive season to date, the forward has committed his long-term future to his hometown team, with a deal that keeps him at the MKM Stadium until at least the end of the 2026 Betfred Super League campaign.
At 27 years old, Fash finds himself in the prime of his career and will look to continue to go from strength to strength over the coming seasons; he is now approaching his 150th club appearance and has been ever present for the Airlie Birds so far in their 2023 campaign.
After coming through the Airlie Birds’ youth ranks, the former West Hull junior broke onto the professional scene back in 2015, with the former England Knights man now finding himself as the squad’s third longest-serving player behind Danny Houghton and Jamie Shaul.
The fan favourite has become a cult hero to the Black & White Faithful in recent seasons, not only due to his impressive performances, but also for his trademark mullet haircut!
Fash is the second player to commit their future to the club in the last week, alongside Ligi Sao who penned a new two-year deal on Thursday.
Speaking to hullfc.com, Fash said: “I’m really happy to have secured my future here at my hometown club for the next three years.
“We’re in a bit of a new phase at the club under Tony [Smith]. There’s a lot of change happening at the moment and I’m excited to be a part of his plans over the next couple of years.
“I think he’s great to work with. He likes men who work hard and I would like to think I put myself in that category.
“I’m focused on continuing to work hard for the team now. There’s plenty of opportunity to improve in this new phase that we find ourselves in. Like I say, that’s something exciting to be a part of.”
Head coach Tony Smith, added: “It’s great that we’ve been able to retain Brad because he has a great attitude to working hard and developing his game.
“He sets high standards for himself and his desire to improve as a player is the sort of thing you’re looking for when you’re a coach hoping to re-sign somebody.
“Brad will help offer a versatile option to our pack, with the ability to play in the front-row, at loose forward, or on an edge.
“And the fact that he is a local boy is a big help, too. You always want homegrown talents in your squad because you know they will always work hard to represent the club – that is exactly what Brad does. So we’re all really pleased to get this one over the line.”
