Connor Wynne lays out his Hull FC target after penning new deal

Promising Hull FC youngster Connor Wynne has penned a new deal to remain at the MKM Stadium beyond the end of the season.

Wynne has signed an initial one-year contract extension with holding the option to extend it by another 12 months. It means the 21-year-old will be remain with his hometown club until at the least the end of the 2023 season.

The centre is enjoying his best season in the FC first-team so far as he develops into a key man under Brett Hodgson, stepping into the side with regularity and looking the part. In eight appearances he has scored seven tries, including hat-tricks against Sheffield Eagles in the Challenge Cup and Toulouse Olympique, meaning he is currently the club’s top try scorer in all competitions.

Wynne believes his hard work on and off the field is paying dividends and over the comings months he’s determined to build on his early form and cement himself in Hodgson’s plans.

“It was an incredibly easy decision for me to extend my contract here,” Wynne told the club website. “I’m Hull born and this is my boyhood club having come through the academy system, so I’m looking forward to seeing how my career develops over the next few years.

“I’m really enjoying my rugby now and think I’ve progressed well this year – my aim now is to nail down a spot in the team every week and kick on even more. The hard work doesn’t stop now just because I’ve signed a contract – I want to keep building myself as a player here and hopefully sign a few more contracts in the years to come!

“Brett has shown some real faith in me and I think that’s really helped me develop my game, but I’m working hard both on and off the field with plenty of things to put myself in the best possible position to fulfil my potential
