    Outstanding: Danny Houghton has been tipped for full international honours

Hull coach Peter Gentle has tipped Houghton, who was called up to the England Knights squad last year, as a future club captain.

"He is without doubt a future international at the highest level and he must be very close to receiving a call-up to the full England squad," he said.

"Already we’re seeing the benefit of his experience in the younger players in the squad, whilst I’m sure he’ll be a candidate for Hull FC captain in years to come."

    “I honestly believe that if Danny Houghton continues to improve he will be vying for Englands hooking role with McIlorum over the coming years.

    Great news to secure one of the top home-grown English talents in the game.”

    “Brilliant, fantastic news. Danny has been a massive player this year and will get better and better. His speed at the play-the-ball is improving slowly and his passing a little better too,

    This is a big statement of intent for us.

    The news just gets better and better every week.”
