Widnes Vikings are pleased to announce that Hull KR outside back, Jumah Sambou, has joined the club on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n
Sambou joined the Robins ahead of 2026, having made the switch to Super League following a successful spell with Oldham in the Championship and League One.<\/p>\n
Hull KR will NOT hold a callback clause, meaning the Vikings will be able to keep Sambou on loan for the whole season without the possibility of him being recalled.<\/p>\n
Jumah will be available for selection ahead of this Sunday\u2019s home opener against North Wales Crusaders at the DCBL Stadium.<\/p>\n
Head Coach Allan Coleman said: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to get Jumah in. I think everyone will have seen last year before his injury, he was one of the best centres in the Championship and rightfully earned his move to Hull KR.<\/p>\n
\u201dHe adds real power and agility to our backline, which gives us some really strong options. To get him for the full season is massive for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
