Hull FC have confirmed the signing of Samoa international Carlos Tuimavave on a three-year deal, subject to international clearance.

The 23-year-old will join the Super League club at the end of the season.

Tuimavave, who has been capped three times at international level, currently plays for Newcastle Knights in the NRL.

"I am excited to be joining Hull next season and the opportunity to play regular first grade football at one of the biggest clubs in Super League," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"While I am focused on finishing the season well at the Knights, I am looking forward to moving my family to England and making a positive contribution to Hull Football Club."

Hull FC continued their Super League campaign on Thursday with a 48-12 defeat to Wigan Warriors.
