Hull KR’s season may be over but their home ground Craven Park will play host to one more game as a testimonial event for a former Hull KR back and a departing Hull FC forward has been announced.

Ex-Robin Kris Welham will lead out one side in a special testimonial derby against a side led by departing Hull FC man Brad Fash, who was one of 12 players to leave the club at the end of the season.

Fash had celebrated his testimonial year in 2026, having played over 200 games for the Black and Whites during his time at the club, having debuted back in 2015.

He made a total of 12 appearances in 2026 but his final season at the club was cut short due to injury, however, he’s expected to play in next month’s derby at Craven Park.

The game will be played on Sunday, October 11th and has been announced on LinkedIn by Lisa Jewitt, the chair of the Hull FC Rugby League Supporters Group.

Whilst Fash’s future in rugby league is unclear, Welham retired at the end of the 2025 season after spending his final years with Sheffield Eagles but he’s started his career with and spent ten seasons at Hull KR – racking up almost 200 appearances.

He and Fash will lead out sides in this testimonial derby that will see a number of former players from each club feature.
