Cockayne signs new Hull KR deal

Hull KR full-back Ben Cockayne has signed a new three-year contract that will keep him at Craven Park until the end of the 2011 season.

The 25-year-old, who has made 163 appearances since joining the club from amateur side Normanton Knights, was out of contract and had been linked with a move to Castleford.

"It's great to be offered a three-year deal," he said. "I'm looking forward to next season and helping the team win some silverware. I've had a few injuries this year and it will be good to start afresh."

Rovers coach Justin Morgan said: "This is terrific news for the club. To retain a top player like Ben is testament to the side that we are developing and building here."
