Adam Walker dropped by Hull KR in grooming probe

Hull KR's Adam Walker was omitted from Sunday's game against Huddersfield over grooming allegations

A Hull KR player has been dropped by his club after being questioned by police over allegations of grooming.

Prop forward Adam Walker was spoken to regarding offences of attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child.

The 24-year-old has not been arrested and voluntarily attended the police station, West Yorkshire Police said.

A statement from the rugby club before its match against Huddersfield Giants on Sunday said it was "appropriate" Mr Walker be stood down for selection.

"This is not an admission of wrongdoing but felt to be in the best interests of everyone, including Adam," the club said.

No disciplinary action has been taken, it added.

Mr Walker, from Bradford, was signed by the Super League team on a three-year deal in 2014.

He previously played for Huddersfield Giants.
