Prop Paul King has ended speculation over his future by signing a new two-year contract with Hull FC. The 29-year-old forward has spent his entire career with his hometown club having made his debut at the age of 17. "Everyone knows I am black and white through and through and getting this new deal is fantastic news," said King, currently sidelined with a broken foot. "I have never wanted to play for another club and I believe I still have plenty to offer the club." Head coach Richard Agar added: "We gave him a one-year deal last time on the proviso that we wanted to see some improvements in certain areas and he has certainly done that. "It has been a difficult year for Paul with his injury but he showed enough form early on in the year to suggest he still has plenty of football left in him." King follows Ewan Dowes, Craig Hall, Lee Radford, Tommy Lee, Tom Briscoe, Danny Tickle and Willie Manu in committing to the club. Hull have also secured two new signings for 2009 in Dominic Maloney and Michael Crocker. Uncertainty, however, still remains over the future of another prop in Garreth Carvell. The 28-year-old penned a new deal earlier this month only to claim he made a mistake 24 hours later.
