Just been on RH that Joel Clinton has signed 2 year deal with the option of a 3rd year subject to the usual visa clearence being granted. The club will not confirm this at present but will make announcment later in the week. This is what we all expected to hear and I believe a good signing.

Good signing.


Do you know Hull City won at wembley

You hum it, I'll play it.

Would like to know what the situation is with work permits this year as if last year is anything to go by we might not see him til May...

According to HDM his signing is, "subject to recieving a work permit", http://www.sporthull.co.uk/hullkr/news/ ... ticle.html

If stats are anything to go by a very good signing.


And yes, Dean Windass scored the winner i believe.

Work Permits disappeared last year when the new Visa regulations came in. All he needs is a sponsors number from the RFL so that he can begin applying for a Visa. Visa times seem to have come right down since last year - I think players have been waiting between one and three months rather than half a year.

Don't you know the difference

Hull FC - clown in charge, uses magic ink for contracts, does'nt get visas sorted before issuing squad numbers.

Hull KR - run by a competent board, use REAL ink for contracts.

Even those timescales are a bit worrying, at best we would see him training with the squad by January at worst it would March.

Suppose with a forward it is easier to integrate him than it would be a half back. Hopefully the wheels have been in motion behind the scenes and this can be reduced and we see him in the country to commence training by Jan 4th at the latest.
