Former NRL player Mark Minichiello has signed a new Super League contract for 2018 with Hull FC.

The 35-year-old back-rower has enjoyed a new lease of life since moving to England in 2015 from the Titans on the Gold Coast.

He was rewarded for a stellar season last year with a place in the 2016 'dream team'.

"I'm over the moon to keep Mark for another year - it was a no-brainer," Hull coach Lee Radford said.

"He's still playing well at his age and he's the model professional for any young rugby league player with the way he looks after his body, which has helped him prolong his career," Radford said.

Minichiello said he was really excited to be going around again.

"I've been happy with my form recently and there's still plenty more I want to achieve with this club before I leave."
