Gentle signs one-year extension at Hull FC

HULL FC coach Peter Gentle has signed a one-year extension to his deal at the KC Stadium.

The news was revealed by club owner Adam Pearson at the club's Player of the Year awards dinner this afternoon.

The Black and Whites finished the campaign in sixth place, meaning they have a home tie in the play-offs against Huddersfield Giants next Sunday.
