Where are FC's 2016 Wembley heroes now?

IMMORTALISED FOR CHALLENGE CUP WIN

- By DAN TOMLINSON

It's mad to think next year will be ten years since Hull FC finally ended their Wembley duck.

At the ninth time of asking, the Black and Whites finally tasted glory in North London, beating Warrington Wolves 12-10 in the 2016 Challenge Cup final. For most, it was the ultimate high, and for some, the greatest day of their lives, with 17 players now immortalised after their contributions. Here, the Mail looks at what they are up to today.

Jamie Shaul

The Hull-born fullback will never be forgotten after scoring the winning try. After retiring in 2023, Shaul came out of retirement to play for Goole Vikings in 2025, also working as a bricklayer.

Steve Michaels

The madhouse Aussie, a big part of the cup run with his tireless work rate and tough carries, is also a keen fisherman Down Under while also working as a chippy (carpenter).

Mahe Fonua

The centre scored the first try and had a big hand in the second. He returned to Australia after spells with Castleford and Doncaster, playing for Mackay Cutters in the Queensland Cup this year. He is now retired, calling time on a stellar career.

Kirk Yeaman

2016 was Yeamo's last season before retiring. With 176 tries to his name, he is one of the club's finest ever players and was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2023. He is now working as a prison officer.
