Hull FC head coach Tony Smith has left the club after a poor start to the Super League season. The vastly experienced Australian took over at the MKM Stadium in September 2022 after a spell at cross-city rivals Hull KR. They won 10 of 27 games last season to finish 10th and have lost six of their seven league games so far this year.

"They have worked tirelessly and it is disappointing to have had to come to this decision, but it is one I feel is right at this time." "It is disappointing not to see the job through which was always going to be a challenging project and I was relishing the opportunity to see it through," Smith said.BBC Sport's Matt Newsum

Smith has been a serial winner throughout his career with Huddersfield, Leeds, Warrington and even Great Britain but that experience has not brought him a winning formula at Hull.
