The Mail first reported Turner's involvement back in November.
However, Kassim has now been rewarded with some first-team training after impressing in the club's academy system.
Both players are forwards, with Turner a former Hull Wyke prop who will line up for the club's reserves side this year, and Kassim a second year academy back rower from Skirlaugh Bulls.
The duo have caught the eye of head coach John Cartwright this January, with three components singled out: size, skill and attitude.
A 'prerequisite' of any future Hull player, Cartwright is even open to blooding the teenagers in the club's preseason games against Huddersfield and Wigan, the first of which takes place on Sunday, January 25.
