Athletic winger Matty Dawson-Jones has joined Hull FC from Leigh Centurions on a two-year contract ahead of the 2019 campaign.

The former St Helens and Huddersfield Giants outside back boasts a wealth of Super League experience, as well as a try-scoring return of 18 tries in 28 appearances in the Championship last season.

Dawson-Jones was also the Centurions top try-scorer during their year back in Super League in 2017, crossing for 17 tries, including two against the Black & Whites at the KCOM Stadium.

In total, the strong running winger scored an impressive 41 tries in 56 games for Leigh and he is keen to show he still has what it takes to carry that form and ability into Super League.

Speaking to hullfc.com, he said: “I’m coming here with a point to prove and I jumped at the opportunity play for Hull.

“As soon as I heard they were interested in me it was only a matter of time, once I had spoken with the club I didn’t want to go anywhere. It was a no brainer.

“They’ve got some good people here, a really good setup and the history and fan base speaks for itself.

“I have spoken to a couple of the boys who have played at Hull and they all spoke very highly of the club and the atmosphere, so I’m really excited for that.”
