Hull FC stand-off Danny Washbrook has signed a new three-year deal with the Super League club.

The 22-year-old's contract was due to run out at the end of the season but he will now at the KC Stadium until the end of the 2011 season.

"I am pleased to have got everything sorted out," Washbrook told the club's official website.

"I never wanted to leave the club, it is my club and I'm very happy here, my game is developing all the time."

Washbrook added: "A three-year-deal not only gives me security but the chance to concentrate on my rugby, doing my best for the team instead of thinking about next year and what I am going to be doing."

He is a good player with an excellent attitude

Hull FC coach Richard Agar
Washbrook has played in several positions this year for Hull, including loose-end and stand-off.

Coach Richard Agar delighted to have secured Washbrook's services: "He is a good player with an excellent attitude, he is rapidly maturing as a player and person and is someone who you can build a club around."

Washbrook is the second Hull player to sign a new deal recently, after utility player Graeme Horne agreed a new one-year contract on Friday.

Both players are products of the Hull FC youth system and have gone on to establish themselves in the Super League.
