Hull KR have today confirmed the signing of Hull FC forward Jack Brown in a swap deal that sees the Robins Yusuf Aydin join FC in a permanent basis. Both players have signed two-and-a-half-year contracts with their respective new clubs.

Aydin has spent the last few weeks on loan at the Black and Whites, playing in their most recent games against Leeds and Warrington. He joined Hull KR from Wakefield in 2023.

Jack Brown, meanwhile, is a product of the FC academy system (despite being a childhood KR fan), and had made 66 appearances for the West Hull outfit since his debut in 2019.

Speaking to Hull KR’s website about his move, Brown had this to say: “I’m buzzing. Coming early wasn’t something I expected but it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”

‘Willie (Peters) sold me the club straight away. Hull KR is in a great spot and hopefully that continues. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in with the boys and learning all I can to develop my own game and help the team.”

His new coach, Willie Peter’s also added: “We’re pleased to welcome Jack (Brown) to our club. Jack was a local junior and comes from a family of Hull KR fans. We’re glad we’ve had the opportunity to welcome Jack back home.”

“Jack is a young front rower with his best years ahead of him. He possesses good footwork with a strong offload game and he’s hard to handle with the ball. Jack’s aggressive in defence and has plenty of upside to his game.”

“I’m looking forward to working with Jack as he develops at Hull KR over the next two and a half years and beyond.”
