What a player and captain hes been, could have gone anywhere when he signed for us, top man and glad we still got him next year even if its not on the field, Thank you Gaz

The best word I can use to describe him and his influence on Hull FC is 'catalyst'. The transformation we've undergone in recent years can largely be contributed to his leadership, motivation, dedication and him leading by example every single game.

Thanks Gareth. You've been more than brilliant.

An outstanding player & genuine Legend here & down under.
All the best Gaz thanks for the memories & good luck in retirement.

Absolutely brilliant player who has given his all and will go down in history for lifting back to back Challenge Cups. Deserves a Hall Of Fame entry in my eyes.

How do you replace him

Easy.

The most valuable and important FC player in a generation. Words can't do him justice.

Minichello has being better, Sneyd has being more influential, Ellis is still a great player however and a great captain as well as being a great role model.

Our best signing since Steve Norton, it's been a real pleasure seeing him play for Hull FC. We'll miss him on the pitch massively.

Even as a Minichiello cheerleader I don't think he has been a better player for Hull than Gareth Ellis.

He's been immense for us.
Will our upward trajectory wane with his playing departure?

Champion player and champion person. He'll go down in history as one of our greats.

Irreplaceable.

One of the greats of the modern era.

As good as minichiello has been you were a different team when Ellis played

Leaves one big pair of shoes to fill! Well, they won't be filled will they, there's only a hand full of players on the planet that could have filled them over the last decade!

This guy deserves a statue commissioning to stand pride of place outside the KC in my eyes!

One of the greatest signings this club has ever made, and B2B challenge cup captain to boot!

God, he'll be missed!
