Davy Litten will embrace the Hull FC full-back position if he gets the call against York Knights at the MKM Stadium on Friday night and has vowed to give it 110% wherever he is played.
The 22-year-old is one of a handful of options for the Black and Whites to step into the role after a devastating season-ending ACL injury to Will Pryce, with Hull also able to call on Zak Hardaker, Lloyd Kemp, and Logan Moy.
Formulating a plan at training this Tuesday, Hull will try out new combinations as they come to terms with losing one of their most influential and talented players. And while it’s a bitter pill to swallow, Litten knows the club have to look to move forward and get back to winning ways following Saturday’s humbling defeat at Wigan.
“From a negative, the positive is that we’ve got a lot of heads which could go there, but whatever happens I’ll put my hand up for the team and I’ll put 110% effort into the game,” Litten, speaking to Hull Live on Monday, said. “We’ll see on Friday night, but I’ve got the utmost respect for Prycey.
“I’ll ask him for a load of advice if I do play there, but we haven’t trained yet and I don’t know yet what the crack is.”
Litten – who played the full-back role as a community player, a Hull FC junior, and in the early stages of his first-team career – has recent experience in the role, lining up against Salford RLFC earlier this month and scoring three tries.
Developing into a centre over the last 18 or so months, it’s a role he is comfortable with and will embrace if he gets the call, which could be dependent on positions elsewhere, notably with what Hull do with Hardaker and Arthur Romano with back rower Joe Batchelor out of the round three clash.
“100% – the Salford game was like a return to when I played there when in the community game again,” Litten explained. “Playing full-back is what made me love the game from the start.”
Looking to right the wrongs from Saturday’s defeat, Litten is also keen to set Hull’s record straight, regroup, and prove they are a better team than the account they showed at Wigan.
“We can turn a negative into a positive,” Litten added. “We know that wasn’t good enough and we need to turn up far better than that come Friday and the rest of the season in order to put our best foot forward.
“We all need to turn it into a positive now as a 17 and as a squad going forward, train harder, and then turn up on game day and don’t expect the game just to be given to us. We’ve got to go after it.”
