Hull coach Richard Agar called Lauaki "explosive and aggressive"

New Zealand forward Hame Lauaki has completed his move to Hull FC on a three-year deal after receiving a visa.

His move was held up because he had to prove he spoke English despite living in New Zealand for 20 years.

"It's been a long, frustrating process but our patience has been rewarded," said club chief executive James Rule.

The 25-year-old Lauaki, recovering from an arm injury, will replace Adam Dykes, who was forced to end his contract early because of injury problems.
