SAINTS Centre Josh Simm has joined Hull FC on a short-term loan.

The move is an initial two-week loan, which will then be reviewed on a week-by-week basis.

Simm, 21, is a Saints Academy product who has been limited to just seven appearances this season and will look for regular game time at Hull FC.

Head Coach Kristian Woolf said: “Josh is a talented young player who needs some time to develop and gain some Super League experience.

"He is not getting that here with us so it is a good move for him to join Hull FC.

“The move will also allow him to develop his confidence and push his Super League credentials to then return back into our team.”

Simm scored 29 times in just 25 games for the Academy in 2018 and 30 tries in 20 appearances a year later before his form was rewarded as he made his first team debut at centre against London Broncos in July 2019.

He has gone on to make a total of 18 appearances for the first team, scoring seven times.
