The former England Rugby Head of Strength & Conditioning, Jon Clarke, is joining Hull FC as High Performance Consultant ahead of the 2025 season.

The 45-year-old made over 350 career appearances in Rugby League, featuring for Wigan Warriors, London Broncos, Warrington Wolves, and Widnes Vikings, whilst also representing Great Britain.

Clarke will now link up with Hull FC where he will work closely with Head Coach, John Cartwright, and Head of Conditioning, Tom Bennett.

Clarke says:

“There’s a lot of work ahead of us with the squad, especially in terms of strength and speed development. There’s also certainly work to be done to help keep our best players on the pitch and that is hopefully where I can help Tom Bennett and the rest of the high performance team to deliver.

“I’ve been involved with Rugby League for 35 years, and I’ve been a Head of Performance internationally in both codes of rugby for the last ten years. Now I feel it is my opportunity to give something back to the game in a different way with this new role with Hull FC – one I am very much looking forward to.”
