Hull KR season over after Covid-19 outbreak

Hull KR’s 2020 season is over after the club confirmed that a Covid-19 outbreak has left them unable to fulfil their remaining fixtures.

Rovers were set to play Warrington this Thursday, before additional games against Catalans and Salford, all of which have now been postponed.

After players were tested earlier this week, several tests from players and staff came back positive, while a number of others were forced to self-isolate as a result of track and trace analysis.

In a statement posted on their website, the club said: “The First Team squad was tested on Monday 2nd November, revealing numerous positive results within the playing bubble.

“Additionally, a number of both players and staff will have to self-isolate in line with track and trace procedures.

“Naturally, the club are disappointed we will not be able to fulfil our remaining fixtures and will finish our season early. However, the health of our players and coaching staff remains of paramount concern.

“We’d like to place our thanks on record to all 2020 members, sponsors, staff, players, Sky Sports, Super League and RFL for their help and support throughout 2020.”
