Barron Extends Hull FC Stay

Harvey Barron has committed his future to Hull FC by signing a deal to remain with the Black & Whites until the end of the 2027 season last year, has now signed a further two-year contract extension to keep him at the club until the end of 2029.

Barron has become a main feature in the first-team squad in recent years, adding try-scoring threat, aerial prowess and strong backline carries to the table.

Barron has scored 25 tries in 44 appearances for the Black & Whites since making his debut against Toulouse in 2022.

Barron’s contract extension follows last week’s news that fellow young winger, Lewis Martin, has committed his future to the club, signing a new five-year deal to stay at the MKM Stadium until the end of the 2030 season.

The pair of wingers notched an impressive 47 tries between themselves throughout 2025, and both have promised to continue their form into 2026, with Martin bagging a hat-trick in a pre-season friendly against Wigan and Barron helping himself to one in last week’s Betfred Challenge Cup win over Salford.

Speaking to hullfc.com after signing his contract extension, Barron said: “It was an easy decision to make.

“Over the years, the club has backed me a lot on and off the field, so when Richie came along and put an offer on the table, the only option for me was to sign it and I’m over the moon to be here for another four years and however many more in the future.

“I feel like, individually, last year was my best to date, so it’s great to have been offered a contract extension and a chance to sort my long-term future out – now I can just focus on playing rugby.”

Director of Rugby, Gareth Ellis, said: “Harvey’s development over the last couple of years speaks for itself. He’s a real athlete.”

“Securing his services for an additional two years on top of his previous deal is a smart piece of business, because he is only going to get better year on year.

“I think fans can see how his body frame has grown in the last 18 months, which enables him to be a key asset for us in backfield, especially bearing in mind the faster rucks that will be in play this season.”
