Prop Ese'ese signs new contract with Hull FC

Herman Ese'ese has played internationally for both New Zealand and Samoa

Herman Ese'ese has signed a new contract to stay at Hull FC until the end of the 2029 Super League season.

The Auckland-born prop was already contracted until the end of next season, but he has added three more years on, while the club has an option to extend it by another year to 2030.

Ese-Ese, who had previously played for five NRL clubs, joined the Airlie Birds last year.

"I believe we are building towards something special here and I am really privileged to be a part of that," he told the club's website.

"I'm buzzing that I get to don the famous black and white jersey for more years to come and I will always give 100%. Up the Airlie Birds."

The 30-year-old has made a strong start to this campaign, scoring a try in each of his side's past four games in all competitions, including Thursday's win at Castleford Tigers.

Hull are up to second in Super League and can next look forward to facing league leaders and rivals Hull KR in the Challenge Cup quarter-final on 5 April.
