Time flies when you’re having fun. Just ask Hull FC young gun Logan Moy, two years into his first-grade career, back in the side, and ready to keep showing his worth for interim coach Andy Last against Castleford Tigers on Friday night.
The 20-year-old is hoping to make his fourth successive appearance and his 30th to date for Hull’s senior side, having come back into the team against Catalans Dragons last month and not looking back.
Scoring a try, Moy followed suit against St Helens, also appearing in the derby against Hull KR, with his highlight reel extending to some solid takes under the high ball, energetic kick returns, and a try-saving tackle on Tristan Sailor.
And for the Hull-born star, who debuted against Huddersfield Giants two years ago, it’s continuity that is now key. Shaking off a pre-season calf injury, Moy returned to Super League via the reserves and a loan stint at Halifax Panthers in the Championship and is now looking to cement Hull’s full-back spot for the rest of the year.
“It’s crazy to think it’s two years already,” Moy, speaking to Hull Live, said when reminded of his 2024 debut. “When I debuted, the team was probably at one of the lowest points it’s been at, but they put the trust into me and a few other young lads. It was good.
“Look, I probably wasn’t ready at the time, but it just a great experience to play. It’s all happened so quickly but hopefully Lasty picks me for Cas and I can play again this week.
“I want to keep kicking on now and play the rest of the season – that’s the ideal world, so fingers crossed that’s the way it pans out. I just enjoy playing rugby. I haven’t felt loads of pressure since I’ve come back in – it’s just been about enjoying my rugby.”
That’s exactly what Moy has done. Always seen with a smile on his face, the youngster brings energy to the table and is not prepared to let his chance go to waste – getting involved and making his contributions.
“Obviously, it was a bit of a wait at the start of the season for me, being injured,” Moy continued. “I did the full pre-season with no niggles, nothing, and then to get a calf injury which kept me out for five weeks was a nightmare, really.
“I was grateful to Halifax for letting me go down and getting a couple of games in the Championship in. They were really physical, which is what I needed, and then the reserves game was against Hull KR, so that was always going to be physical, too. They certainly helped.
“When I finally got my opportunity in Super League again, I just tried to enjoy it. My main focus was just to just get myself involved. I might have come in and only played that Catalans game and that might have been it for the season. You never know with rugby, do you? The teams can change week in week out, so I wanted to make sure I got out there, got involved, and showed what I can do.
“I felt like I’ve done that in all three of the games I’ve played, but the challenge now is to keep it up. Hopefully, I can do that.”
Making 16 appearances in his debut season, Moy backed that up with ten more last year, not to mention a loan stint at Doncaster. He’s also packed on about 10kg of muscle over the last two years and is becoming more confident at this level the more he plays.
“I’m definitely getting a bit more confident when I step onto the field,” Moy said. “I’ve been training really hard. I’ve put on about 5kg a season and I’m just slowly adding it without effecting my speed. It’s definitely helped. I can feel it as I’m running now.
“But don’t get me wrong, there are still some nerves there – I’m still a young player and I still want to build that trust with my teammates and the fans. It’s still nervy every time I step onto the field, but I am definitely getting a bit more confident with it.
“The fans have been great with me, and all the young boys, to be fair, just backing us. Lewis Martin is one of the big homegrown talents and they all love him. It’s good to see – it’s actually inspiring for us young lads coming through, and seeing what Lew has done has been massive. He’s just a lad from Hull so there’s no reason why we all can’t follow in his footsteps.
“Again, hopefully I can play for the rest of the season now and show what I can do with a few games under my belt. I’ll definitely keep bringing everything I’ve got to every game I play and hopefully my game can keep building and keep getting better week in, week out.”
And as for try vs try-saver, there’s no doubt which camp Moy sits in and which of his plays in the three games so far has given him the confidence to do just that.
“It’s always nice to score a try but the big ones are those moments which can switch a game, and the try saver was a big moment for me,” the young full-back added. “The try I scored was probably more credit to Zak Hardaker’s pass; I didn’t really have to do much, but the try saver – I thought if he steps here, I might have a bit of a nightmare.
“But I just chased hard and managed to force the error. I was hoping that would be a big turning point in the game. Unfortunately, it didn’t go that way, but it was a big confidence boost for me. Hopefully, it will go our way next time.”
