JORDAN Rankin says his move to Hull FC offers a chance to kick-start his career in the best way possible.
The 21-year-old stand-off is waiting in Australia for his visa to be processed before joining Hull FC on a two-year contract.
Having become the youngest player in NRL history when he made his debut for Gold Coast Titans, the Aussie has found opportunities difficult to come by in recent years.
Eager to play regularly, Rankin has told the club's website he's looking forward to re-launching his career at Hull.
"I thought this was a good opportunity to come over there and test myself in the Super League against players I don't know too much about," said Rankin.
"It's going to be fresh water and an opportunity to kick-start my career in the best way possible. I want to make a name for myself and I'm really looking forward to it."
A former Australian Schoolboys team-mate of his new half-back partner Jacob Miller, Rankin says his old friend has already been filling him in about what to expect at the KC Stadium.
"Jacob's told me a fair bit about the city and the supporters," adds Rankin.
"He's said the fans are pretty full-on with one side Black and White and one side Red and White, so it's going to be a little bit scary come derby time.
"He's said they're all for it and that the fans are massive on their footy. It's pretty similar to the Gold Coast as people are pretty passionate down here too, so hopefully the Hull fans will welcome me with open arms.
"There's always that fitting in process when you move clubs and it takes a bit of time, but I'm just looking forward to getting over there."
