Hull KR are set to sign St Helens’ Lachlan Coote, according to totalrl.com.
Coote is off contract at the end of 2021 and has been the subject of intense speculation, despite boss Kristian Woolf admitting he wanted to keep the Australian.
The 31-year-old replaced Ben Barba ahead of the 2020 season and has since become pivotal to the Lancashire club’s Grand Final-winning success in the past two seasons.
The move leaves question marks over Adam Quinlan’s future at Rovers, with the diminutive fullback also out of contract at the end of the year.
Following his arrival in 2020, Coote has registered nearly 50 appearances for Saints.
