14 Jun 2007
Hull FC are proud to announce the signing of Australian International Shaun Berrigan on a 4 year contract.
The man known as ‘Berro’ showed just what a talent he was in 2006 when he was a spearhead towards the Bronco’s NRL premiership win, securing the Clive Churchill medal for his man of the match performance in the Grand Final. He was a member of the Queensland Origin winning squad of 2006 and 2007 and has collected 12 State of Origin appearances along side his 12 International Caps.
Berrigan said: “I have had a fantastic career at the Broncos, winning premierships, playing for Queensland and of course for Australia. I am really excited to be joining Hull FC and playing in the Super League and Challenge Cup. I am excited by their 
plans, I believe the club has a fantastic future and I am looking forward to being a part of it for the next 4 years”
Head Coach Peter Sharp said: “I am very excited to have signed Shaun he will bring speed, toughness and leadership to our team. He is an exceptional rugby league player and a tremendous acquisition for Hull FC.”
Chief Executive James Rule said: “To have signed a player of Shaun’s calibre is a clear indication of the ambition of this club. Shaun is at the top of his game, a current Australian International and member of the series winning Queensland State of Origin squad.
“I am confident he will have a significant impact on our club both on and off the field. He has exceptional versatility in that he can cover hooker, centre and second row as he proved in this year’s State of Origin series. I’m sure he will become a crowd favourite with the Black & White faithful.”
