Hull FC's Tom Lineham agrees Warrington Wolves move

Warrington Wolves have agreed a deal to sign Tom Lineham from Super League rivals Hull FC.

Lineham had two years remaining on his current deal but the winger will leave the KC Stadium at the end of the season after a £125,000 fee was agreed for the 22-year-old.

"It has been a very difficult decision for me to make but the circumstances are right for me to start a new chapter in my life and I'll leave the club with some great memories and lifelong friends,” Lineham said on Hull’s website.

"It is a great club here with a very bright future and I truly wish them all the success in the world for the future."

"I can't stress how much I would like to thank everyone at the club who have been so supportive of me since I was given my chance here, particularly the coaching staff and my team mates, as well as the fans who have always given me a great reception.

"I would like to thank all those who gave me a chance and the players and coaches for all they have taught me and I am determined to make sure I have the perfect ending to my time at Hull, hopefully with some silverware.

"It is a great club here with a very bright future and I truly wish them all the success in the world for the future."

Adam Pearson, Hull FC owner, added, "I would like to thank Tom for his contribution to the club. He has overcome two very serious injuries and worked hard to get back some decent form which has been pleasing to see.

"It's a good move for all parties and also gives us a significant transfer fee to reinvest in our squad and focus on key areas that we feel are more of a priority for us to strengthen, rather than the wing spot where we have some very exciting emerging talent coming through our system.

"We will continue to invest heavily in the playing group and I remain personally very committed to bringing the club success for a long time to come.”
