RICHIE Myler has laid out a key Hull FC message as the club move into 2026, with the goal now firmly centred on kicking on as an organisation after an encouraging year.

2025 saw the Black and Whites restore pride and connection in the club with a seventh place Super League finish, but for Myler, the hard work must now continue into a new season where expectations and standards will be raised again.

Thanking supporters for their support, the club CEO has confirmed more than 6,000 shirts have been sold for 2026 already, ensuring, along with over 9,000 membership sales and new principal sponsors, that the club will operate at the full salary cap this year.

"I’m delighted to reflect on the progress we made in 2025 as we now move forward into the next chapter of this exciting new period for the Black and Whites," Myler wrote in a lengthy club statement.

"2025 saw us achieve many significant milestones; our highest average home attendance in 15 years, huge digital and commercial growth, reengaging into our community with more than 400 hours of community appearances by our first-team squad, and returning to Grade A status under the IMG Grading system - and ultimately, falling narrowly short of reaching the playoffs which has left the club hungrier to achieve more in 2026.

"It goes without saying that I'd like to acknowledge the incredible support of our members as we head towards the new Super League campaign over 9,000 members already signed up for the new season, our highest membership figure for over five years, and already an increase of more than 1,500 members compared to 2025.

"On the back of a period of underachievement for our club, your continued loyalty and support is outstanding.
