HULL SEAHAWKS have rallied around and issued a cry for help on behalf of forward Nathan Salem after a freak fire burnt his family home to the ground earlier this week, with all their possessions lost.

The 31-year-old forward and his family fortunately escaped injury, but are now effectively homeless.

The club have set up a Go Fund Me page to help raise money for the family to help them get back on their feet.

In a statement put out later on the club’s social media channels, Salem said: “There was a fire in a garden which spread to our house and has completely destroyed the house and everything in it.

"We have lost everything and are now basically homeless. We’re not sure what to say, it’s just surreal at the minute and we’re not sure how to recover from this.

"We are overwhelmed already with messages and donations and can’t thank everyone enough.”
