New Rovers deal for Lovegrove

[LeedsBarmyArmy]

Hull KR forward Rhys Lovegrove has signed a new three-year contract which will keep him at Craven Park until the end of 2015.

The 25-year-old, who joined the club five years ago when they entered Super League, was due to be out of contract at the end of the season but never contemplated leaving.

"I always wanted to stay here," said Lovegrove, who made his 100th appearance for the club earlier this season but is currently sidelined with a knee injury.

"It's great to get it all sorted out and the new contract takes me a long way towards my goal of being a one-club player."

Coach Craig Sandercock said: "Rhys is only 25 and his best years are ahead of him which is why we've given him three years.

"He is a consummate professional who prepares well every week and can play in a number of different roles. He's already done that for us this year and I'd expect him to rise to another level next season."

Good move for Kr think he's been one of their best players this year, didnt realise he was 25!

T-Bone same I though he was older than this good to see another player who wants to be a one-club man.

I got a text from my mate last night telling me he'd got a 3-year deal but to keep it quiet until this morning. He then proceeded to text my other mate, who then texted me. Useless git.

Extremely happy. He has been our best player this season. I know he wanted to stay in Hull as he intends to become a student, so much so he texted me for some advice on it, so I knew something was going on.

Chuffed with this!
