Super League side Hull FC have chosen Peter Gentle to become the club's new head coach.
Gentle, who is the current assistant coach for NRL side West Tigers and Australia, will link up with the Black and Whites in time for pre-season training.
"I'm delighted to take over as head coach at Hull FC and the chance to test myself in Super League," Gentle said.
"It is a really exciting challenge for me and my family and to be handed the chance to coach at such a prestigious club like Hull, with their history and heritage, will be a proud moment and an honour."
Gentle's appointment comes after the club announced last week that Richard Agar would be leaving his managerial position at the end of the season.
