Frank Pritchard has knocked back a late and lucrative offer to continue his NRL career at the Warriors, but the Test forward will honour his commitment to Hull FC.

Pritchard was released from the final year of his Canterbury contract to take up a three-year deal in the Super League. The 32-year-old finalised the three-year contract in June and will head to England to begin the final phase of his career.

However, the Warriors were hoping to change his mind and add him to an impressive recruitment drive that includes fellow Roosters fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and South Sydney hooker Issac Luke. The club offered the New Zealand and Samoan international a two-year deal in the hope of adding him to an imposing pack that already includes Simon Mannering, Ryan Hoffman, Ben Matulino, and Jacob Lillyman.

However, Pritchard said he would honour his commitment to Hull FC. "I will be heading over there next week and I'm really looking forward to it," Pritchard said. "I think they are a team on the rise and I can't wait to be part of it. It's flattering that there may have been some interest elsewhere but I'm a man of my word and will see out my commitment."
