Recent developments indicate that Hull FC is not pursuing a deal for Jaxson Paulo, the North Queensland Cowboys winger.
This clarification follows initial reports from Fox Sports suggesting Paulo was poised to join Hull FC after the current season.
Insights from Love Rugby League reveal that the Super League club is satisfied with its current roster depth and is not looking to enhance their outside backs.
Both Lewis Martin and Harvey Barron remain contracted to the club, with recent additions including Sydney Roosters centre Junior Pauga.
Additionally, Hull FC has secured Jordan Swann from Wynnum-Manly and made a significant six-figure transfer for Davy Litten from Wakefield Trinity.
The club also acquired Connor Barley, a promising English talent, further diminishing the likelihood of signing Paulo.
Although Paulo has expressed interest in playing in the Super League after a varied NRL career across four teams by age 26, his status at the Cowboys appears precarious.
This season, he has not taken the field for the Cowboys, and in 2025 he recorded just three appearances.
Additionally, during the 2025 Pacific Championships, he made one appearance for Samoa.
