Hull say he will ‘return to Australia to spend time with his family and embark on new opportunities.’

“I’ve been here in the UK nearly six years and now that the kids are getting older I think it’s the right time to head home.

“Hull in general will always have a special place in our hearts as my son Boston was born here!

“Hopefully down the track I can bring him back and watch a game or two.

“With all that said I’m super keen to get back to business and finish on a high with the fellas.”
