Youngsters from both Hull FC and Hull KR have both landed moves away from their respective clubs and have signed permanent deals in the Championship.<\/p>\n

Goole Vikings have confirmed the signing of two exciting middles, both of whom are looking forward to the opportunity of some senior game time.<\/p>\n

First, Jon Turner of Hull FC has arrived at the Victoria Pleasure Grounds ahead of 2027, with the 19-year-old prop a consistent performer in the reserve grade competition.<\/p>\n

Turner never made a senior FC appearance, but did feature in a number of pre-season friendlies. Standing at over 6ft tall, he has trained with the Black and Whites\u2019 first team for the past two seasons.<\/p>\n

Only 24 hours before Turner\u2019s announcement, Goole also announced the capture of KR\u2019s Alfie Petty, a two-time Super League player having featured against both Wigan and St Helens in 2026.<\/p>\n

Another promising talent with an imposing frame, the Myton Warriors junior product joins Turner in helping the club achieve its goal of bringing in the next generation of talent.<\/p>\n

Hull KR and Hull FC youngster seal Goole Vikings switch<\/p>\n

Commenting on Petty\u2019s move to the club, head coach Brett Ferres said: \u201cAlfie is one of a number of young players we\u2019ll be bringing into the group this year who we feel have some real potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club has already established a strong track record of unearthing and developing talented young players, and we\u2019re hoping to see a few more emerge from this next crop over the next 18 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlfie has been watched by a number of Super League clubs during his time at KR. He\u2019s been a strong performer in reserve grade and earned his Super League debut this season, which is a great achievement for a young forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still very young for a middle forward and his best years are very much ahead of him. But he\u2019s got a great attitude, a strong frame and plenty of attributes that we think give him a really good chance of progressing with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of Turner, Ferres explained: \u201cJon has been on the radar of a number of Super League clubs during his time at Hull, so we\u2019re really pleased he\u2019s chosen to take the next step in his career with us.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s performed consistently well in reserve grade and has benefited from being around Hull\u2019s first-team environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still only 19, which is young for a middle forward. Physically he\u2019s got a really good foundation, but there\u2019s so much more development to come in his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has some great attributes. Our job now is to help him build on those qualities and make the transition into regular senior rugby.\u201d<\/p>\n
