After announcing 2024 would be his final season in the NRL, Sydney Roosters legend Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has agreed to terms for 2025 with English Super League club, Hull KR.

The Kiwi International and premiership-winner will be 36 when he heads to the United Kingdom.

“It’s exciting. I’ve had a good couple of chats with Willie. He’s a great man and I’m really looking forward to playing for Hull KR and him in 2025,” he told the Robins’ website.

“The team has been building for a number of years. They were successful last year but fell short in the Cup Final. We’ve got a really strong squad this season and from the win over Hull you can see their training really hard.

“For myself, my wife and the kids, we’re looking forward to coming over as a family, knuckling down and enjoying the North of England. I’ve played a number of years in the UK with New Zealand, coming away internationally. I’ve loved England, I love how passionate the people are.

“I love the working class city of Hull, it’s been on my radar for a couple of years. Now it’s official, it’s very exciting.”
