Hull KR sign half-back to two-year deal

Hull KR have announced that they’ve signed half-back Danny Richardson to a two-year deal, keeping the former St Helens and Castleford Tigers man at Craven Park until the end of the 2026 season.

Richardson has spent the majority of the season on loan with Hull KR but he now confirms his future beyond the current season by penning a two-year deal with the club.

It appears to be a brilliant deal for Hull KR who secure one of the very best back-ups in the competition given Richardson’s pedigree and experience.

The 27-year-old has made over 100 Super League appearances but played just twice for Hull KR, both times against London Broncos in the absence of Tyrone May.

During his time with the club, he’s proven to be a brilliant leader of the Reserves and has driven standards and the club has now secured him for a further two seasons.
