New head coach John Cartwright hailed Sezer in the wake of the Perpignan win, but swiftly turned his attention to the prospect of taking on Matt Peet’s men, who were part of Super League’s first scoreless draw in normal time.
The former Leeds half-back, who left Headingley after two seasons in 2023 and rediscovered his motivation levels in a short stint with NRL side Wests Tigers, starred in his new side’s eye-catching opening win at Catalans Dragons last week.
“I didn’t know what to expect when I left 18 months ago but I went home and got back to playing the footy I know I still have in me,” Sezer told the PA news agency.
Sezer was the catalyst of Hull’s first win in Perpignan since 2019, weighing in with two assists for tries by Jordan Lane and Tom Briscoe as his side confounded expectations to run out 24-4 winners.
Revitalised Aidan Sezer says he is ready to lead Hull up the Betfred Super League table as the buoyant Black and Whites prepare to host wounded champions Wigan at the MKM Stadium on Friday night.
