Hull FC have confirmed the appointment of Richie Myler as their new director of rugby following the half-back's decision to call time on his playing career.
The 33-year-old left Leeds Rhinos for York Knights at the end of last year but featured just three times for the Championship club due to a serious elbow injury that required surgery. Myler has opted to retire and take up a newly created role at the MKM Stadium as part of a shake-up of Hull's off-field operation.
I am genuinely excited by the task ahead as we all look to pull together and once again seek to restore the club’s fortunes on the pitch.' Hull are targeting players on both sides of the world to freshen up a beleaguered squad that sits 11th in Super League. Tex Hoy and Nu Brown departed last week to free up two overseas quota spots for the club's new rugby boss.
