We are thrilled to announce another massive signing to Hull Ionians in the form of prop forward, Rikki Stout. Rikky was a big part of the team during our time in Nat 1 and it amazing to see him back at the club. He will be a huge addition to an already strong pack and will really help at scrum time.

Rikki said "I’m delighted to have signed back at Ionians. I have some really fond memories from my time there, especially when we pulled off the great escape two years in a row.

It’s a proper rugby club and I’m excited to see what we can achieve this year with a really talented young squad."
