Steve McNamara makes ninth Hull FC signing as Super League prop returns on season-long loan

Hull FC have added another new face to their squad ahead of 2027, with new boss Steve McNamara bringing in a former Warrington Wolves colleague on a season-long loan.

Max Wood will once again swap the Primrose and Blue for Black and White, as he heads to West Hull temporarily. Having spent part of 2026 at the club, he will now spend the whole of next year under McNamara’s tutelage.

The 22-year-old made five appearances for FC this year, including playing key roles against Huddersfield and St Helens. He also donned a Wire jersey 13 times across the campaign.

Wood becomes Hull FC’s ninth recruit ahead of 2027, as he joins Bailey Hodgson, Daly Cherry-Evans, Alrix Da Costa, Isaac Liu, Jordan Swann, Josh Coric, Junior Pauga and Connor Barley at the MKM Stadium.

There is no recall option in the forward’s contract, and he will be able to feature in games against Warrington throughout next season.
