State of Origin Goes Global: International Interest Surges

Will Pryce joins Hull FC with immediate effect on a contract until the end of the 2028 season.
Newcastle Knights granted Pryce an early release from his NRL contract on compassionate grounds, citing personal and professional reasons for his return to England.
The versatile player, capable at half-back or full-back, adds valuable depth and attacking flair to Hull FC's spine.
Pryce follows in the footsteps of his father, Leon Pryce, who played for Hull FC in 2015 and 2016.
Why this matters:: This signing strengthens Hull FC's squad significantly for the remainder of 2025 and beyond, filling a gap in the halves and demonstrating the club's recruitment ambition by securing NRL talent.
Will Pryce's move back to the Super League comes after a stint in Australia with the Newcastle Knights. Initially making his mark with Huddersfield Giants from 2021-2023 (46 appearances, 17 tries), Pryce moved to the NRL ahead of the 2024 season. He gained experience playing primarily in the NSW Cup (16 appearances) and made 5 NRL appearances, including a try-scoring debut.
Hull FC had originally secured Pryce for the 2026 season, but successful negotiations led by CEO Richie Myler with the Knights allowed for an immediate transfer. The Knights stated they didn't wish to impede Pryce's opportunity to return home and secure a long-term Super League contract. While competition for spots and the future arrival of Dylan Brown at the Knights may have been factors, the primary reason cited was compassionate grounds.
For Hull FC, Pryce represents a key acquisition, offering pace, skill, and versatility. He becomes the fourth mid-season signing for 2025, joining Liam Knight, Liam Watts, and Sam Eseh, and adds to an impressive recruitment drive for 2026 which includes Joe Batchelor, James Bell, Connor Bailey, and Harvie Hill.
