Hull prop Paul King has ended speculation over his future by signing a new two-year contract at the KC Stadium.
The 29-year-old former Great Britain international has spent his entire career with his hometown club, having made his debut at the age of 17.
King, who is currently sidelined with a broken foot, said: "I think everyone knows I am black and white through and through and getting this new deal is fantastic news for me. I have never wanted to play for another club and I believe I still have plenty to offer the club."
Head coach Richard Agar added: "We gave him a one-year deal last time on the proviso that we wanted to see some improvements in certain areas, and he has certainly done that.
"It has been a difficult year for Paul with his injury, but he showed enough form early on in the year to suggest he still has plenty of football left in him."
