One promising Hull KR player has secured a move away from Craven Park ahead of 2027, whilst one ex-Robin has also had his future confirmed.
Henry Hope will depart the Rovers’ set-up, becoming the latest young player to join Championship side Goole Vikings.
The 18-year-old failed to make a senior appearance under Willie Peters, but was a try-scoring machine in the reserves as he dotted down 19 times, including four in one game against Leigh.
With the goal being senior playing time, Hope has switched from full-time to part-time and will link up with Brett Ferres’ side ahead of the new season. Goole are highly excited by their new addition, as they are with fellow new recruits Jon Taylor, Alfie Petty and Joe Thompson.
Commenting on the signing, boss Ferres said: “Henry has really impressed us with his attitude and commitment to his rugby. He’s determined to take his chance and that’s something we really like about him.
“He’s a powerful winger with good pace and he knows how to finish. There’s still a lot of improvement in his game, and he’s relatively raw, but he’s eager to learn and develop.
“He’s got a two-year contract with us, so there’s a great opportunity for him to learn, grow and develop his game in our environment. He’s hopefully got a bright future with us, and we’re looking forward to helping him fulfil his potential.”
