Hull FC have confirmed the signing of NRL forward Josh Kerr on a two-year deal after announcing the release of James Bell.
Australian Kerr, 30, joins the club from St George Illawarra Dragons and is new head coach Steve McNamara’s 10th addition before the 2027 Super League campaign.

Kerr will join up with fellow new signings which include Bailey Hodgson, Daly Cherry-Evans and Alrix Da Costa at the MKM Stadium after Hull FC finished last season in a disappointing 11th.
“For me and my family, it’s also a chance to experience a different culture and make some great memories together. We can’t wait to get over there and get started,” Kerr told Hull FC’s website.
Meanwhile, the Black and Whites announced the release of fellow forward Bell with immediate effect.
The 32-year-old joined the Black and Whites for the 2026 season, and made 18 appearances.
Before that he spent four years with St Helens, for who he scored nine tries in 81 games.
The club said the decision had been taken to allow Bell “to take up an opportunity with another Super League club in 2027”.
