To say Hull FC forward Brad Fash went full circle on Sunday afternoon is a fair assessment.

The testimonial man, who celebrated his 30th birthday the day before, was the oldest black and white player to line up against Huddersfield Giants - with his first taste of first-team action ironically coming in another testimonial match for Gareth Ellis 11 years ago.

Running out against Wakefield Trinity, Fash played a handful of minutes that day, comparing his own journey to the start of several young Hull players who impressed against senior Super League opposition.

“T felt old,’ Fash, speaking after the game, joked. “But no, I found it alright. The first 20-25 minutes I felt great, and the last 10 minutes, I had waited to come back on and felt a bit stiff, but other than that, it was good.
