If you think Davy Litten is set to rest on his laurels after achieving another Hull FC childhood dream, then think again.

If anything, it's lit the fuel for the centre, ever present in the team since returning from injury last March, to go round once more, bigger, stronger and better.

Gearing up for the 2026 season, that's exactly what the 22-year-old intends to do, and he's putting it all in this preseason to make it a reality.

Handed the number three shirt, Litten, who has featured 50 times for Hull FC, is raring to go, having ticked another item off his checklist for his boyhood club.

And while it may only be a number, for the player, it means a great deal.

"It was a really proud moment for me and my family," Litten, speaking to the Mail, said on receiving the number three shirt.

"It's something you work towards, and you never think it's going to happen, and then it does.

"To be honest, it doesn't mean much outside; it means everything to me, but it means nothing when picking the team. If anything, it's made me rise to the challenge a bit more.
