There are not many better people to judge Hull FC’s rebuild than Tom Briscoe.

The outside back was the first recruit made by now CEO Richie Myler, signing an original 18-month deal back in April 2024.

That deal has now been extended into the 2026 season, and the difference for the now 35-year-old is staggering.

When he joined, Hull were at their lowest ebb. They had just sacked their then coach, Tony Smith, and were beginning a huge rebuild of both their on-and off-field operations. That culminated with key personnel changes, and none more so than at the very top, with Andrew Thirkill and David Hood purchasing the club.

It's fair to say change at Hull has been astronomical, but for Briscoe, it’s all been for the better, with the club going in the right direction again. Finishing seventh last season, they acknowledge improvement, reconnecting with fans and restoring pride, but now there is a desire to get to the next level.

That’s a desire, an obsession, if you will, that Briscoe shares. The longtime winger or now centre, has won it all in his career, and with confidence and mindset strong again, he wants to taste success with the club he debuted with in 2008.
