British-born before moving to New Zealand, he has caught the eye with some great evasive qualities during his appearances so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Given he is considered a player from a new player pool, Rovers will get dispensation on the first year of his contract. Only 50% of his salary will count on the cap next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">20 years of age, Murphy will be another young addition to Willie Peters&#8217; squad next year. It has been a focus area for the Robins heading into 2026 as they look to bring the age profile of their squad down. A Salford loanee, Tom Whitehead, is also heading to the club, alongside the likes of Jumah Sambou, Connor Wynne and Jack Charles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Salford tied him down on a deal until the end of the season but now, he is set to join the Robins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Robins are set to add another signing to their ranks.Dec Murphy is set to join Hull KR&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-37133","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
