Liam Knight may return to NRL despite Hull FC's insistence he will stay for 2026 season.
Departing the NRL at the end of last season, conflicting reports have emerged surrounding the future of Liam Knight, who could potentially return to the competition sooner than expected.
Moving overseas to the Super League this year after stints with four different NRL sides - Manly Sea Eagles, Canberra Raiders, South Sydney Rabbitohs and Canterbury Bulldogs - Knight has one more year to run on his two-year contract with Hull FC, but that hasn't stopped him from being linked with a return to Australia.
Despite these reports, Knight's current club, Hull FC, has told Hull Live that there is "nothing" to the rumours and that he is expected to return to the side for pre-season training in November, where he will play for the 2026 season.
It is understood that the Black and Whites are reluctant to grant him a release after he had become a fan-favourite at the club before sustaining a season-ending ankle injury.
