Hull FC vs Huddersfield Giants: Team news and injuries as Tony Smith welcomes back new signing

HULL FC take on Huddersfield Giants at the MKM Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

It’s been a dreadful of games for Tony Smith’s men with the Black and Whites losing seven games in a row after winning their first two fixtures of 2023.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, have been steadily building and an impressive win over Catalans Dragons last weekend epitomised their improving form.

Team news and injuries

Hull could welcome back Jake Clifford but Tex Hoy isn’t included in the 21-man squad with the pair missing the last few weeks through injury. Jamie Shaul and Jake Trueman are still out.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, are still without Olly Russell and Ashton Golding as well as Theo Fages.
