Hull have confirmed the appointment of Richard Horne as the club’s new reserve team coach.
Horne joined Hull's coaching staff 12 months ago after bringing the curtain down on a 16-year playing career with the club.
The 33-year-old will take control of the Black and Whites' U23s , who will comprise of surplus Super League squad members and players from the club's academy. They will compete in the re-formed reserve league in 2016.
"Richard has the makings of a promising coach and, crucially for us, understands the ethos of the club, what we're trying to build here and how effective the new reserve-grade structure could be for us," Hull head coach Lee Radford said.
Warrington Wolves, St Helens and Wigan Warriors are among the other clubs expected to participate in the new competition, which will get under way on the same weekend of Super League XXI in February with the first of 15 rounds.
