Hull Kingston Rovers have captured exciting young halfback Jack Charles from neighbours Hull FC.<\/p>\n

The Treble winners have wasted no time building on their first Super League title<\/a>, signing the talented 19-year-old on a four-year deal.<\/p>\n

Charles had a breakthrough season in 2024, playing 17 times for the Black and Whites, and figured again in the last campaign, as well as having a spell at Doncaster in the Championship.<\/p>\n

The England Academy international is the son of former Robins player Chris Charles, and he told BBC Radio Humberside<\/a> that the chance to play under head coach Willie Peters and alongside 2024 Man of Steel Mikey Lewis was key to the switch.<\/p>\n

The move will not go down well at the MKM Stadium, where Charles was seen as part of a gradual rebuild for KR’s cross-city rivals.<\/p>\n

However, Charles said: “I loved my time at Hull FC. There are some great people there, people who have put a lot of time and effort into me in the last couple of years, but this is just something that I couldn’t turn down.<\/p>\n

“It’s such a great opportunity for me over the next couple of years to create my own legacy and produce something special. I want to win trophies and win games.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull Kingston Rovers have captured exciting young halfback Jack Charles from neighbours Hull FC.
