In a major Rugby League transfer move, half-back Jake Clifford will bid farewell to Hull FC at the conclusion of the 2023 Super League season to make a triumphant return to his former stomping ground at the North Queensland Cowboys in the National Rugby League.
The 25-year-old playmaker, hailing from Cairns, has showcased his exceptional skills since joining Hull FC from the Newcastle Knights for the current season, amassing an impressive tally of six tries and 46 goals across 20 league and cup fixtures.
Clifford previously enjoyed a fruitful spell in Townsville, featuring in 42 matches during the initial phase of his career.
With his imminent homecoming in 2024, the Cowboys are eagerly anticipating his arrival, expressing excitement over the contributions he will bring to the team.
The prospect of having a North Queensland local back in their ranks is viewed as a significant bonus for the club.
