Hull FC squad to face Huddersfield

Hull FC coach Peter Gentle has called up Liam Watts as one of three changes to his 19-man squad for this weekend’s visit of Huddersfield Giants to the KC Stadium.

Watts joined the Black and Whites on a three-and-a-half year contract from rivals Hull KR last week, and while the defeat to the Warrington Wolves came too early for the England Knights star, the 21-year-old prop could make his debut for the club on Sunday.

He has been joined in the squad by youngsters Danny Nicklas and Reece Lyne, who replace Liam Kent and the injured Danny Houghton in Gentle’s squad for the charity fixture, with Eamon O’Carroll the other change after the former Wigan Warriors forward left the club by mutual consent on Wednesday.

Hooker Aaron Heremaia has retained his place in the side after making his long-awaited return from a neck injury against the Wolves last weekend.
