Smith added, “We have made really encouraging progress on our recruitment for next season, which will include a replacement for Jake, and we will update everyone when the time is right, but for now our focus is on a positive end to this season.”

The club added in a statement: “The club would like to wish Jake and his family all the best for next season and beyond, as he aims to finish the current campaign on a high with the Black and Whites.

“The club will be making announcements on a number of new signings over the coming weeks.”

Hopefully some will chill out now

Not sure people need to chill out, we just want something positive announced, the club and Smith have been saying these kind of things for weeks now. All we have heard is stories of some of our better players leaving.

The club do alot of good things, but the media and communication side isn't one of them.

Yeh, can’t blame Clifford for leaving, but can’t help but think it isn’t the right move for him. He’ll get his chances when inevitable injuries happen, but to go back as a back up on a one year contract with the hope of getting an extension is ambitious to say the least.

Interesting that the Hull FC article said:
"I know he is open to a return to the club in the future."

Either stay, or go. Anyway, good luck to the lad.

Which one, Schneider or Lewis.

Imagine the meltdown from both sides if Lewis signed.

Start with announcing the Tindall and Ashworth signings.

Just don't get it as Dan Tomlinson makes reference to this just about every other day in the HDM!

I really can't see the club's reluctance to announce the signings of the above because most fans are already aware. Patience is a virtue but like fans from all clubs if there is good news (signings etc) to announce .............

Out of interest why would mikey leave to go to a bottom 4 club?

I wouldn't start with that, there should be announced after a couple of overseas players.

Have we signed any overseas players yet? could be a long wait if we are only in negotiations.

Like I say we all know Ashworth and Tindall have signed so just announce it.

He was going into the last year of his deal with Rovers and it still took him 3 years to reach west Hull via Wigan and Salford.

Lewis is contracted to the end of 2025, and it is now Hull rather than Rovers talking about ‘patience’.

Ben Reynolds has had a good season, is ooc and is from Pontefract originally, if you’re looking at Cup finalists.
