The Hull FC full-back reflects on his two years in the first team, his weight gains, and unfortunate pre-season setback.

Hull FC full-back Logan Moy has picked up a calf injury that will rule him out of the pre-season games – but rest assured, he won’t be out for too long, and is already targeting a strong comeback.
The 20-year-old tore the muscle in training and will now miss the friendly fixtures against Huddersfield Giants this Sunday and Wigan Warriors the following week.
But beyond that, Moy is hoping to be fit, and build on the promise he showed over the last two years as a teenager finding his way in Super League.
“I’ve got a little tear in my calf,” Moy told Hull Live. “I won’t be featuring at the weekend now. It was in training, it’s not a bad one, it’s only a couple of weeks.“
Asked if the Challenge Cup game on February 7/8 is a potential comeback date, Moy continued: “Potentially. I’m not sure exactly what day that will be yet. I’ve had my scan and I’ve got a little tear, so hopefully it’s not too long.”
The setback is frustrating for Moy given he has featured in the full pre-season, hitting all his targets in the process, but this is a player who always has a positive outlook. In fact, the full-back has added another four kilograms to his weight, meaning he is now 10kg heavier than when he first started playing Super League back in 2024.
“I did the full off-season,” Moy said. “I had no niggles, nothing. I felt fresh and then this last week, I’ve just had a little niggle. I’ve just got to look past that now and get ready for the first game that I’ll be back for.
“Last year I put on four kilos and then I’ve done the same again this year. I’m probably 10 kilos heavier than I was when I first played Super League.
“I don’t feel any less fit or slower or anything like that. It’s really benefited me. The injury aside, I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt while playing rugby, so I’m excited to see how I go.”
Looking to increase his physicality, 2025 saw Moy head out on loan to Championship outfit Doncaster either side of two playing spells at Hull to start and finish the season. The young fun even featured on the wing for a couple of games with one benefit arising.
“It was different,” Moy said on last season. “The year before I played a few games. It was good to get them under my belt and then the year after, we brought a few people in. I was expecting not to play as many games for the first team, but all the opportunities I did get, I enjoyed and I tried to do my best.
“It’s the same this year, when I do get my opportunities, I’ll try my best to get the best result for the team and for myself. But the loan at Doncaster was good. It was about getting some good game time under my belt and was probably more for the physical side of things.
“I even got a couple of games on the wing so it was good to get carries against men and get myself in the thick of it physically. It all seemed to go well, but full-back is still 100% my preference.
“Playing on the wing was weird at the start but in my head I was thinking it would be good for the physical side of the game, and to get myself playing every week. It ended up being a benefit for me.”

Bursting onto the scene in 2024, Moy played 16 times for Hull but only featured in one win as the club struggled to an 11th place finish. However, last year was much different, with Moy added ten more appearances to his total with seven wins for good measure. The change throughout the whole club was night and day, not that the Hull-born youngsters will play down his debut year – and rightly so.
“It was a massive change, but I can’t speak ill of the ’24 season,” Moy said. “For the club as a whole, it was a bit of a nightmare year, but I’ll still remember it for the rest of my life as I made my debut and I played all of those games.
“Even though we lost every week, I had a smile on my face as I was still playing for my hometown team. It was tough to go into, but the difference into 2025 and the professionalism around the place, everything was of a better quality on and off the field. It’s gone up another step this year as well in the pre-season. Hopefully, everything goes the same on the field.”
And when Moy is fit again, he’ll relish the competition alongside Will Pryce and Lloyd Kemp, taking his opportunities as and when they come.
“It’s good competition, healthy competition,” he added. “Everyone helps everyone out and I’m probably benefitting more from having that competition, learning off different players, and learning the different ways that people play full-back.
“It’s good and I enjoy it. But when I do get my opportunity, I’ll make sure I take it in my stride. That’s my aim for this year.“
