William Sharp (born 13 May 1986) is a Nigerian rugby league footballer who played as a centre, fullback or on the wing for the York City Knights in the Championship.

Sharp had a contract with Harlequins RL that saw the dynamic youngster join the first grade squad on a permanent basis.

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.

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.

In 2012 Will Sharp made his international début for the Nigerian national 7s team at the African Regional qualifiers in Morocco.
