Cust signs contract extension with the Black & Whites

Cade Cust has signed a two-year extension with Hull FC.

The Australian was snapped up on a two-year deal by the Black & Whites ahead of the 2025 Betfred Super League season, and just six months after making his debut for the club, he has penned a further two-year deal to keep him at the MKM Stadium until the end of the 2028 campaign. 

Enjoying the best try-scoring season in his professional career to date, Cust has been an integral part of Hull's spine this year.

Not only has he complemented captain Aidan Sezer to some tune in the halves, but he has also provided utility value to the club, in that he has been a rotation option for John Cartwright in the hooker role. 

Cust marked his 23rd appearance for the club on Saturday with a valuable try in Hull's tense 18-12 victory over Leigh Leopards, as the Black & Whites established a three-point lead over fellow play-off hopefuls, Wakefield Trinity.

The former Manly, Wigan and Salford man has now joined Lewis Martin, Harvey Barron, Davy Litten, Liam Knight, Herman Ese'ese, Denive Balmforth, and Will Hutchinson in signing contract extensions this year.

Speaking to hullfc.com on the decision to extend his stay at the MKM Stadium, Cust said: "It's awesome to be able to commit to the club for another two years.

"I was already contracted until the end of 2026 but I'm stoked that the club wanted me to stay beyond that.

"Everything around the club feels great at the minute. We're making good progress both on and off the field and I'm really privileged to have the chance to represent this club on its mission to get back to a really strong position.

"Working under Carty again has been so good for me. It's freed my game up massively and I feel like I'm back to playing some of my best footy, but I also feel like I've still got plenty more to give."

Hull FC's Director of Rugby, Gareth Ellis, said: "Cade has been an excellent addition to the club in 2025 and we are delighted to have secured his services until the end of 2028," he said.

"Not only has he been strong in his on-field performances, but he is a great character to have in the group.

"Having worked under Carty previously in his career, there is that understanding there between player and coach, which allows Cade to play his best brand of football, and I strongly believe there is still more to come from him."
