Former Hull FC duo reunited in surprise fashion

TAYLOR AND WATTS WILL LINK UP AS COACH AND PLAYER AT GOOLE VIKINGS

- By DAN TOMLINSON

TEN years ago this August, Scott Taylor and Liam Watts were winning the Challenge Cup for Hull FC at Wembley.

This year, a decade on from one of the greatest ever days in the club's history, they're reunited again, with Watts linking up with Taylor at Goole Vikings ahead of the East Yorkshire outfit’s first Championship campaign.

A free agent up until last week, Watts, who left Hull last September after a second stint at the club, will play under Taylor, who is ready to get to grips with his second year as a professional head coach.

And for Taylor, there’s no doubting that Watts was the missing piece of his recruitment puzzle - even if he’s still coming to terms with rugby league's uncanny ability to provide the unexpected.
