Rochdale Hornets can confirm the loan signings of Will Tate and Tom Whur from Hull KR.
The pair will join the club on initial two-week loans, and could debut this Sunday against London Skolars at the Crown Oil Arena.
Tate, 19, made his Super League debut for Tony Smith’s side in the 2020 season against Leeds, and can feature at fullback, wing or centre.
Whur, 19, features at prop and impressed in the club’s academy, earning a professional contract with the Robins.
Chairman Andy Mazey said: “I’d like to thank my colleague Paul Lakin at Hull KR and also Tony Smith for agreeing to loan us two very exciting young talents from their first team squad.
“This double loan deal for Will and Tom will strengthen head coach Matt Calland’s selection options as we continue to battle against ongoing injuries to key personnel this season.”
