Adding Fields to Laravel 5.3 Registration

Trying to add some fields to the registration method in Laravel:auth. I've successfully added them to the view and the database (checked visually for the view, in phpMyAdmin for the DB), updated the controller's validator:

return Validator::make($data, [
      'name' => 'required|max:255',
      'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
      'type' => 'required|max:255', //new
      '222' => 'required|max:255', //new
      'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
]);

as well as updated the controller's create function:

return User::create([
    'name' => $data['name'],
    'email' => $data['email'],
    'type' => $data['type'], //new
    '222' => $data['fees'], //new

    'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
]);

And then topped it off by updating the Model:

protected $hidden = [
    'type','fees','password', 'remember_token',
];

But... well it doesn't work. The SQL created doesn't include my new fields and therefore returns an error as the DB doesn't have default values for them..

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field '222' doesn't have a default value

Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated!
