Rovers hooker extends stay

Hull KR hooker Matt Parcell has signed a new one-year deal at the club, with the option of a further year.

Parcell joined the club permanently ahead of the 2020 season, after spending the back end of the previous season on loan at the Robins.

He told the club website:“It’s good to get it all sorted. It’s been an interesting year and everyone’s had to roll with the punches, but it’s been good to get the deal over the line.

“Since we’ve come back the last couple weeks have been disappointing, but the months previous we have been playing some really good footy. As a team we are going to gain valuable experience over the next few months and that’s going to put us in good stead going forwards.

“It’s been really enjoyable at Hull KR. To start with I had a few good games then got a couple serious injuries, but I feel really good now.

“I feel like I’m in really good shape, really good head space and I feel like I can get back to playing my best footy at Rovers and under Tony. Hopefully, fingers crossed I can stay injury free and play some really good rugby.”
