We would like to wish Toby Warren all the best with his move to Super League side Huddersfield Giants for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
Whilst it is never nice to lose young promising players like Toby, we are proud that Birmingham Hurricanes is becoming a place where players can develop, show their skills and potentially progress to Super League should the opportunity arise.
It is a credit to our fantastic coaching staff and culture at the club that we can be associated with stories like this.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Birmingham Hurricanes - in collaboration with our friends Bournville RFC - invite all fans and members of the rugby league community to Avery Fields tomorrow (Sunday 8 November) for a Remembrance Sunday service at its new, dedicated Remembrance Area.
People are asked to attend no later than 10:45, with the reading of "We Will Remember Them" commencing at 10:57, followed by the Last Post and a two-minutes silence.
Avery Fields' Clubhouse will be open for refreshments both before and after the service, with fans also able to stay afterwards to watch Bournville Women take on Stafford at 2pm.
We would finally like to pass our thanks on to @HurricanesRLSC, who have kindly confirmed it will be laying a wreath on behalf of the club.
