Hull KR's George King signs new long-term deal

Hull KR prop George King has signed a new, three-year extension at Hull College Craven Park.

The Ireland international was already under contract for next season but will now remain at the East Yorkshire club until the end of 2025.

Huddersfield-born King, who joined from Wakefield Trinity last year, was a big part of the Robins’ excellent campaign, helping them finish sixth and reach the Super League semi-finals.

“It’s really good to get this over the line," he said.

"There was never an intention to leave.

"I’m delighted to have signed the new contract. We have a really good squad where we work hard for each other and its really appreciated by the fans.

"We’ve been on a journey and we managed to pull something off special against Warrington in the play-offs but came short in the semi against Catalans.

"For the season as a whole, it was certainly progress and it’s progress I want to be a part of in the future."

"I’m looking forward to ripping into pre-season and hopefully going 80 minutes better and reaching a Grand Final with the club.

"I can’t wait for these next four years with the club."
