Championship<\/a> campaign this weekend when they face Keighley Cougars, but they are expected to be without their star hooker, who is still with the Robins and is currently in Tenerife with Willie Peters\u2019 side.<\/p>\nThe 20-year-old is the brother of Leigh Leopards\u2019 Bailey Hodgson and the nephew of former KR star Josh Hodgson. However, after returning from a spell living Down Under as a youngster, he joined the academy set up at Hull FC in 2023.<\/p>\n
He left the Black and Whites without seeing a minute of first-team action at the end of the 2024 season, though, before penning a deal to join Scott Taylor\u2019s Goole.<\/p>\n
The hooker made 13 appearances and scored three tries during the club\u2019s first season as a professional outfit and it seems as though he did enough to catch the eye of the Robins, who have invited him into their ranks to take a long look at him.<\/p>\n
Whether he will be offered anything by Rovers remains to be seen, but Taylor has confirmed that Hodgson has been training with the east Hull outfit throughout the winter months on a full-time basis.<\/p>\n
Hull KR take Goole Vikings man on trial<\/p>\n
\u201cJeylan has been on trial with Hull KR, training full-time with them and he\u2019s in Tenerife with them now,\u201d Taylor told Serious About Rugby League. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have to go this week without arguably our starting one and nine: Guz [Josh Guzdek] through injury and Jeylan with KR in Tenerife but as the weeks go on we should get stronger and stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI just know that he\u2019s had the opportunity to train full-time all pre-season and we\u2019ll just go from there. He\u2019s in Tenerife with them now. If he gets an opportunity to stay there and they want to keep him, I\u2019ll be over the moon for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I took this job and signed these players, I want them to get back to the best and we saw that with Joe Phillips last year, he\u2019s had an opportunity to go to Hull and I feel like I\u2019ve done my job with him and if he needs game time this year, ring me up.<\/p>\n
\u201cJeylan\u2019s the same. I hope he has a chance of signing for KR but whether he will or not is something for them rather than me.\u201d<\/p>\n
