HULL FC have agreed to play Doncaster in a pre-season friendly after finally agreeing the formalities of their dual registration partnership.
Hull will travel to face the Championship club at the Keepmoat Stadium on Sunday, January 12 with other friendlies set to be announced before the end of the week.
As part of the deal, Hull FC will send squad members to play for the Dons, who are now coached by former Black and Whites play-maker Paul Cooke, a long time friend of new FC coach Lee Radford. Hull will also offer help and advice with off field administration if and when it is needed.
Carl Hall, general manager of Doncaster, said: ""We are thoroughly delighted to be partnering up with Hull FC. As we are the closest Championship club to Hull, we feel that it is a good fit for both parties. We think this partnership will be a great benefit to both clubs and support us."
Hull FC football manager Motu Tony added: "We are looking forward to working much closer with Doncaster over the coming months and forging a partnership that is mutually beneficial for both clubs."
