“I was on my way back from London and Tony Smith rang me to discuss what I was doing next year. I said I was really keen to work under him and it’s a great opportunity.
“I’m looking forward to playing with Jordan Abdull again. He’s a great lad, on and off the field. He’s a great leader and still a young lad, but he can guide teams around the park. I’ve played with Weller Hauraki at Salford too and he’s as experienced as they come.
“I’ve played at this stadium a few times, they’re a loud bunch, and they travel in numbers too, so you can’t beat that really!”
KR head coach Tony Smith added: “I am looking forward to working with Matt. He’s got a lot of experience for such a young man and I was really impressed with his work this year I’d go at the London Broncos.
“He’s a handful and is very determined to keep improving his career. He’s spent the last few years down in London and he’s ready to come back up north to pursue a Super League career.
“Matty’s coming into what I would suggest are the prime years in which players become hardened regular first-grade Super League forwards. He’s ready for that challenge and has the right desire, maturity and mentality for that. He’s going to be a pleasure to work with.”
