Andy Last believes Bailey Hodgson would be a \u2018great signing\u2019 for Hull FC<\/a> but stopped short of confirming whether the deal was done or not.<\/p>\n

The Black and Whites are understood to have signed Hodgson for the 2027 season, with the Leigh Leopards full-back, a try scorer in Friday\u2019s 42-6 win over Hull, the first signing of the Steve McNamara era ahead of next year.<\/p>\n

A Hull-born player, Hodgson, nephew of Josh Hodgson and brother of former Hull academy player Josh Hodgson, comes from good stock, with the 23-year-old now set to line up in the Black and White next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s certainly a good player,\u201d Last, speaking to Hull Live, said. \u201cHe is from a good rugby league<\/a> family, though. His brother Jeylan is killing it at Goole<\/a> by all accounts. Tag (Scott Taylor) is always telling me how wonderful Jeylan is doing and playing exceptionally well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never got the opportunity to coach Jeylan, it was the time when I was away from the club, but Bailey, he debuted for Castleford against Hull FC at the MKM Stadium back in 2020. It was Covid time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we know of Bailey and he was a good player for the West Hull team. And then obviously, the family in Josh Hodgson, he’s a good friend of mine is Josh, and a great player, playing for Canberra, Parramatta, Hull Kingston Rovers, and ourselves, and represent his country, so yeah they are a good family. If Bailey has signed for us it’s a great signing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hodgson will be a Hull FC player in 2027. 09:00, 23 May 2026Updated 09:11, 23 May 2026 Bailey…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":599921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[186549,20805,5903,20370,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-599920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-andy-last","tag-hull-fc","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/599921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
