Hull KR Forward Set To Link Up With Castleford Tigers

King To Depart KCOM Stadium After Four Seasons

Hull KR forward George King will bring an end to his four-year spell with the club at the end of the 2024 Super League season.

The second-row, 28, will join local rivals Castleford Tigers from the start of the 2025 season after the two clubs agreed terms over a transfer fee.

King has made 110 appearances for Hull KR since arriving from Warrington Wolves in 2020, scoring 23 tries.

He has been a key part of the team's success in recent years, helping them to reach the Challenge Cup final in 2021 and the Super League play-offs in 2022.

Speaking about his decision to leave Hull KR, King said: "I've had a great four years here and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have played for such a historic club."

"However, I feel that the time is right for a new challenge and I'm excited about the opportunity to join Castleford Tigers."

"I'd like to thank everyone at Hull KR for their support and I wish them all the best for the future."

Hull KR head coach Danny McGuire said: "George has been a fantastic servant to Hull KR and we're sad to see him go."

"He's been a key part of our team in recent years and we wish him all the best for the future."

King's departure will be a blow to Hull KR, but they will be hoping to bring in a replacement who can fill the void.

The club is currently in talks with several potential targets and an announcement on a new signing is expected in the coming weeks.
