Tom Briscoe - the Rugby League of the Extraordinary

When it's unparalleled acceleration you're looking for, you only need turn to The Rocket, Tom Briscoe. Squeezing top-class sprinting ability into a 6ft, 14st frame, give the ball to Briscoe and he'll score you a try from anywhere on the pitch. Combine this with tactical maturity, and you've got one of the most exciting young players around. Next time you see Briscoe start a run, get ready for something very special.

Only 22, The Rocket has already made over 120 appearances for Hull FC since his debut in 2008.
Hull broke a transfer world record (at the time) in 1913 when they paid £600, plus a massive £14 a game, for Hunslet’s Billy Batten.
Rugby League is in the Briscoe blood with Tom's two brothers, Luke and Jack, both playing professionally.
