Hull KR tie down young forward after impressive Super League introduction

Teenage Hull KR prop Zach Fishwick has been rewarded with a new long-term deal after an impressive introduction to Super League.

The 17-year-old made his first-team debut in the Hull derby at Magic Weekend last month and has featured three times since.

Fishwick is hoping to go from strength to strength after signing a four-year contract that will keep him at Craven Park until at least the end of 2026.

“It’s been a dream to sign for the club since I was a kid," he said.

"It’s great to get the opportunity to develop on the pitch and off the pitch with Hull KR.

“The club’s environment has been great since I’ve come in. It teaches you how to be a good person outside of rugby while developing on the playing side.

"I’m excited to keep progressing as a person and a player with KR over the next four years.”

"The long-term signing of Zach highlights the importance we have at Hull KR to develop within which is vital to sustained success.”
