Aidan Sezer has given a brief insight into a John Cartwright pre-season with the new Hull FC half-back, who has signed a two-year deal with the club for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, expecting two things: a lot of running and a lot of hard work.

Cartwright will link up with the Black and Whites as their new head coach for the next three years, starting ahead of pre-season training this November. The Australian is one of numerous changes to both performance staff and the playing squad, with a new assistant in Andy Last returning to the club, not to mention eight other signings joining Sezer for training in November.

That freshness is hoped to drive Hull into a new era, with Sezer, who debuted in the NRL for Gold Coast Titans while Cartwright was head coach, anticipating a hard slog over the next few months before Super League begins again next February. However, the 33-year-old is fully embracing what's to come, with Hull looking to get the squad in good nick ahead of next year—a crucial campaign as the club look to put the woe of this season behind them.

"I’ve had numerous pre-seasons under Carty before, and they weren’t nice," Sezer said. "A lot of running, a lot of hard work. But it’s something that is required in our game. If we’re not getting stuck into those killers in pre-season, then don’t expect to be successful during the season. We’re all going to be ripping in from day one, and I’m sure Carty will give us a good run around to get us all in great shape."

Sezer will be joined by former club teammate Jordan Rapana at Hull FC next year. A few overview of the 2025 squad can be found here.
