Sky Sports to show Lee Radford's return to Hull FC as round 20 picks revealed

Lee Radford's first return to Hull FC with Castleford Tigers will be televised by Sky Sports.

The game will take place on Friday, July 22 at 8pm, a change from the original Sunday afternoon kick-off.

Radford's six-and-a-half-year tenure at the MKM Stadium - which delivered two Challenge Cups - was brought to an abrupt end in March 2020.
