Wakefield Trinity Wildcats have signed utility back Jacob Miller on a one-year deal.
Miller, 22, started his career in Australia with NRL club Wests Tigers before joining Hull FC in 2013 on a two-and-half year contract.
He made 24 appearances for the Super League club, scoring six tries, but had the last year of his deal paid up and will now join James Webster's squad in December to prepare for the 2015 season.
“Wakefield have given me a great opportunity to re discover my best form and this is a challenge I’m eager to fulfil," Miller said.
“My termination agreement at Hull FC has allowed the Wildcats and myself to agree a deal that we all hope will prove beneficial. I’m very excited about joining the team and competing for a spot in the 17 week in and week out.
“I’m looking forward to being a part of a new club and getting to know the sponsors, staff, supporters and local community.”
Webster is pleased with Miller's addition, as he said: “Jacob’s signing allows us to have greater depth and competition in the halves.
"He is similar to many players that have signed for Wakefield in that he is a young player with a point to prove and a burning desire to cement a spot in the team.
“I have not bought Jacob to fulfil the same role as he was asked at Hull as we already have Tim Smith, I believe we have a player that has a lot of improvement in him and I look forward to investing some time into him as a player.”
