Tonga international to remain at the KC Stadium until end of 2011 season
Sam Moa has rejected offers from rival Super League clubs to sign a new two-year contract with Hull FC.
The 23-year-old has impressed off the bench for the Airlie Birds this season, attracting interest from several other teams.
However the Tonga international had decided to stay put, pledging his future to the Black and Whites until the end of the 2011 campaign.
Moa only arrived at Hull from Cronulla Sharks midway through 2009 but quickly became a firm favourite with the supporters.
Hardest decision
"This has been one of the hardest decisions of my career, but I know I have made the right one," he said on the club's website.
"I think Hull are a club on the rise, they have a strong squad with some excellent players and I really wanted to be part of that.
"They gave me an opportunity this season and I worked hard, but now it is down to me to prove I have what it takes to make it at this level and make sure I can be a strong and consistent performer for Hull FC."
News of Moa's new deal is the latest boost for coach Richard Agar, who has already begun planning for next year with a plethora of signings.
Sean Long and Jordan Turner have been snapped up from St Helens and Salford respectively while Australian duo Craig Fitzgibbon and Mark O'Meley have been recruited from the NRL.
