MELBOURNE Storm enforcer Michael Crocker has been granted a release from the final year of his contract and will move to the English Super League at the end of 2008.
Crocker has signed with Hull FC for three years and will move to England at the end of the year.
The 27-year-old has never been beaten in a Storm jersey - his amazing streak currently standing at 29 matches.
Crocker was contracted until the end of 2009 but has always expressed concerns about his body lasting the distance in the NRL.
Crocker will join former Storm teammates Clint Newton, Garret Crossman, Scott Hill and Matt King in the Super League.
Newton and Crossman play for cross-town rivals Hull KR with King at Warrington and Hill at Harlequins in London.
Hull FC this week announced caretaker coach Richard Agar had been signed as head coach until the end of 2010. Agar beat several Australian candidates including Canterbury coach Steve Folkes and ex-Cowboys coach Graham Murray.
Crocker has been named in the back-row for Saturday night's clash against Canterbury at Olympic Park.
