“It was a no brainer to extend my contract here. I like to think that I’ve been playing well recently and I’m in a happy place. It was really a no brainer to go anywhere else.

“I like to think I’m getting back to my best form and with another year under my belt, I think I can get better.

“I want for us to be competitive and to be challenging for all three pieces of silverware on offer and make sure that we’re fighting to be up there towards the top.”

On signing the new deal, Hull FC head coach Lee Radford commented: “I’m really happy with Albert’s contribution to the club since he came in.

“He’s settled in really well on and off the field and he provides us with that bit of offensive X factor.

“I’m sure there’s still plenty to come from him moving forward throughout the remainder of this season.”
