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

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."

King, 26, said: "I feel like I’ve made improvements and there’s room for more to come.

"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."
