HULL FC great Danny Houghton will coach the club’s reserve side next season.

Former captain Houghton made 451 Hull appearances in an 18-year, one-club career, winning two Challenge Cup titles.

Following his playing retirement at the end of 2024, Houghton joined the staff in an off-field role involving the club’s academy.

Next season he will lead the reserve side, taking over from ex-Great Britain star Francis Cummins who remains academy coach after doing both this year.
