Midlands Hurricanes have announced the signing of young winger Sully Medforth for 2025 following his release from Super League side Hull FC.

Medforth, 19, was one of 14 departures from the MKM Stadium at the end of the season just gone, departing without making a senior appearance for White-black.

The teenager has been in and around the first team regularly though after reaching the semi-finals of the academy level play-offs with them in both 2022 and 2023.

Agreed a deal with Hurricanes for next year, the former East Hull, Medforth junior returns to the Midlands permanently after spending the end of the 2024 campaign on loan with Mark Dunning’s side.

Making three appearances, he scored three goals and got his first try at senior level against Hunslet in August.

After putting pen to paper on his 2025 contract, the teenager said: “I’m very happy to be back here as I enjoyed my loan spell here last season.

“The club is going in the right direction with good people in and around it.

“It’s perfect for me to start playing my best rugby again and be part of the team and see where it takes us.”

The head of hurricanes Dunning added: “We are delighted to welcome Sully back to the club and the Canes family on a permanent basis.

“Sully came in last year before deadline day, integrated well, added value and showed his undoubted ability and potential.

“He adds real strength in depth and helps create flexibility in some key areas of the group. We look forward to working with him again and seeing what impact he can bring.”
