A glowing endorsement from Gareth Ellis has Hull FC poised to snap up young halfback Jacob Miller over Gold Coast Titans captain Scott Prince, despite objections from his ex-club Wests Tigers.

Former Tigers backrower Ellis has linked with the English Super League club after four NRL seasons and wasted no time stating his preference following Hull's offers to Prince and Miller.

Junior Kangaroos half Miller has suddenly emerged as the top option after Prince met with coach Peter Gentle but failed to commit to a three-year offer.

Miller, the NSW Under 20s captain, blossomed in Wests Tigers' junior ranks, impressing Ellis.

"I spoke with Jacob Miller before I left about the speculation surrounding him and a possible move to my new club Hull FC," Ellis told the Hull Daily Mail newspaper.

"As far as I'm concerned, the move would be great for him.

"His path to the first team (at the Tigers) is blocked by a couple of very good halfbacks like Benji Marshall which has restricted his first-grade appearances (to five games).

"When I spoke to him he was very keen to come over to England and was looking forward to it.

"I told him a move to Super League would be great for him but it's not for me to advise him."

Wests Tigers recruitment manager Warren McDonnell hoped Miller's future lay at the NRL club after the appointment of new coach Mick Potter.

"Jacob has another year left to run on his contract here and I don't think a move to Hull FC will be happening," he said.

"The chances of a move might have been better earlier in the season, but there is a new coach here now and Mick wants him to stay.

"He is an impressive kid with a bright future ahead of him."
