Hull FC have acquired one of their 2025 signings on loan for the rest of the season, with Ed Chamberlain joining the club with immediate effect. The 28-year-old will go straight into contention for this Saturday’s game against Wigan Warriors, offering the Black and Whites some depth, versatility, and a much needed senior body for their remaining ten games.
Chamberlain is capable of playing at centre, in the back row, and in the halves, with Hull working around the clock to bring in fresh faces to complete the current season. They have now agreed a deal with Leigh Leopards to bring one of their new recruits in early, who has signed a three-year contract from next season.
Beginning his professional career with Widnes Vikings, Chamberlain played two games on loan for Hull earlier this year and impressed many figures within the club, with the player bringing some valuable experience and professionalism to the squad. He has over 130 first-grade appearances to his name.

Speaking on his early move, Chamberlain said: “The decision to return to a Hull FC was a no brainer for me after how much I enjoyed my previous loan spell at the club earlier in the year. All of the lads were spot on with me, which helped me settle straight in, and that’s all you want in a new environment. I’m looking forward to getting back to Hull and putting my best foot forward ahead of making it a permanent move for 2025.”
Richie Myler, Hull FC’s Director of Rugby, added: “As I said in our club statement last week, Ed is a player who impresses me a lot, especially with his attitude and work ethic. He settled in with the group really quickly during his loan spell here earlier in the season, and I’m confident that it won’t take long for him to hit the ground running as he joins us again for the rest of the year.”
