the Black and Whites<\/a> on a three-year deal in a move that gives the 23-year-old the chance to get some consistent game time under his belt, develop his skills and establish himself in the first grade.<\/p>\nThe opportunity to lead a team, as he will in west Hull, was one that he was never given down under, with senior minutes during spells at Parramatta Eels, Manly Sea Eagles and Newcastle Knights being few and far between.<\/p>\n
Arthur did make 22 appearances, under his father Brad Arthur, at the Eels, but most of his game time came in the New South Wales Cup. And, the same can be said for his stint at Manly, where he spent three seasons but made just seven outings.<\/p>\n
He did end the NRL season in the Newcastle pivots, having joined the Knights halfway through 2025, but with Adam O\u2019Brien\u2019s side on the slide, he couldn\u2019t inspire Newcastle to victory.<\/p>\n
As such, it\u2019s fair to say his spell in the NRL didn\u2019t end the way he would have wanted it to, but he still has ambitions of cracking the competition down under one day.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was pretty tough at Newcastle,\u201d Arthur told Serious About Rugby League. \u201cWe didn\u2019t finish the season very well at all so it definitely wasn\u2019t the way I wanted to leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, I want to work hard here and I\u2019d love to go back to the NRL one day and finish on a high note with some wins.<\/p>\n
\u201cI learned a lot in that period [at Newcastle]. It was a good opportunity. I played my first NRL game with my brother too which was awesome. That was massive for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment I\u2019m just focused on improving my game and playing my best footy here but yeah, I definitely wouldn\u2019t say that I wouldn\u2019t go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chance to make the move to England with Hull FC ensures he will spent the next couple of seasons at least under the tutelage of John Cartwright. He\u2019s a man that is highly respected in the game down under and the opportunity to work with Cartwright is something that excites the half-back.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been really good working with Carty,\u201d he added. \u201cWe haven\u2019t had too much footy chat yet, we\u2019ve just been getting to know each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a few friends from Manly that were coached by him and they all spoke really highly of him. He\u2019s done a lot in the game so I\u2019ve been trying to pick his brain and it will be awesome to learn as much I can from him.\u201d<\/p>\n
