KIRK Yeaman has signed a new two-year deal at Hull FC on the eve of his testimonial game.

And the 29-year-old centre insists it won't be his last deal for Hull, promising he's got plenty to offer in the years to come.

Already under contract until the end of the forthcoming season, Yeaman has signed an extension until the end of the 2015 campaign, taking him to 14 years with his hometown club.

"I'll be 32 at the end of this deal, but the aim is to carry on and I'm hoping this isn't the last contract I sign for Hull," he told the Mail.

"I don't feel my age and I think I've still got plenty left to give, so the aim is to play for another three years and hopefully do enough to convince Hull to sign me again after that."

Having made his debut in 2001, Yeaman's new contract will mean an uninterrupted 15 seasons in Super League with Hull and the chance to climb the club's all-time try-scorers chart.

He is currently seventh, just 21 tries behind third-placed Alf Francis, as he continues to enhance his position in Hull's folklore.

Yeaman says it took less than 10 minutes to agree his new deal, admitting he can never see himself playing for anyone other than Hull.

"I've been here for so long, this is my home, this is where I belong and I was delighted to commit myself again to this club," he added.

    “Thought the younger team did really well. Tom LIneham is just raw talent and with another full season could be awesome. Crooks looked bigger and stronger and Chris Green led the line really well. The rest more than held their own against a strong super league back line with Carney who looks like he is going to be real handful built like a union hooker but playing on the wing. Horne looked more like his old self but the most interesting part of this for me was Seymour now second choice half back.

    The senior side looked very strong defensively and Holdsworth was attacking the line better than we have seen previously. Ellis and Galea were strong and solid if not spectacular. O'Meley really had the bit between his teeth and for me Lynch was the quietest of them all. McDonnell is a real rocks and diamonds sort of player and I think we are just going to have to accept he will make defensive errors but going forward he showed some real touches of brilliance especially when saving the 40/20 and then beating two players.

    All in all a very satisfactory performance with plenty to build on. If I was a Cas fan however I would be pretty worried. They haven't got much more than they brought today and it could be a long season. I think Rangi might be ruing his previous behaviour as he really did look like a one man team at times.”
