William Sharp (born in Zaria, Nigeria in 1986) is a Nigerian rugby league player for Hull in the European Super League. He plays as a centre or on the wing.
He signed from South London Storm RLFC, he also played rugby union for Streatham.
Sharp had a contract with Harlequins RL and this will see the dynamic youngster join the first grade squad on a permanent basis.[2]
Will Sharp was named as the Harlequins Senior Academy Player of the Year in 2007.[3]
[edit] Hull F.C.
On the 11th August 2010 it was announced that Will has signed a 2 year contract with Super League side Hull. Upon signing Sharp was quoted as saying "I didn't want the opportunity to pass and wonder what if and I really want to test myself at Hull. When a club like Hull comes along with the potential to be a top three team it is hard to ignore.
Hull coach Richard Agar went on to say. "He is a talented, young and ambitious player. We're pleased he thinks Hull is the place to realise those ambitions. He has the ability to carry the ball well and has strength and speed which will be great assets for us next season and I don't think it will be long before he establishes himself as a crowd favourite at the KC Stadium."[4] However, Agar dropped Sharp for the last game.
Under new Hull coach Peter Gentle, Sharp has looked much more confident when taking the ball forward and his defence has improved. Having Tony Martin, an experienced Super League and NRL player as his inside centre will no doubt help with his defence.
