Kenneth Foulkes was an English former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s. He was born in 1944 and died in August 2022, aged 78.

At club level, he played for Castleford and Hull F.C.

Kenneth Foulkes’ birth was registered in Pontefract district, West Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Foulkes began his career at Castleford in the early 60s, close to his birthplace of Pontefract.

He was the understudy to the high-ranking half-back pairing of Alan Hardisty and Keith Hepworth.

However, due to lack of regular playing time, he followed a career path similar to that of Roger Millward, heading east to the city of Hull.

Hull’s decision to sign Foulkes was because they needed someone to step into the shoes of the aging half Tommy Finn.

After being signed, Foulkes made his club debut against Leigh at the Boulevard in October 1964. He scored on his debut.

Foulkes proved to be an excellent acquisition for the Black & Whites, and despite his small stature standing at just 5ft4in, he certainly pulled no punches – irrespective of the huge size of the opposition forwards.

Foulkes made his final appearance Hull F.C. against Blackpool Borough in March 1977. Hull won the game 22-13 victory, leading to them securing the 1976-77 Second Division Championship.

After retiring, Foulkes was appointed as Hull’s assistant coach in 1985, working alongside legendary head coach Arthur Bunting in 1985, before taking over the reigns following Bunting’s departure and guiding the club through the second-half of the 1985/86 campaign.
