Hull KR assistant head coach Danny McGuire has left the Robins following the conclusion of their 2023 season.

McGuire, one of Super League's greatest players, had a spell with Hull KR before his retirement and went on to join their coaching set-up.

Having become assistant to Tony Smith in 2021, he continued the role with Willie Peters and they guided Rovers to the Challenge Cup final and play-offs.

"I'd like to thank Danny for his contributions to Hull KR," Peters said.

The club said the decision to allow McGuire to leave came after they decided to "refresh the first team's coaching structure, enabling Willie Peters to create his own coaching team".

"Danny has played a key role in the club's journey to becoming a top Super League club," chief executive Paul Lakin added.

"We will always be grateful for Danny's contributions as a player and then during his three seasons as assistant head coach, particularly as interim head coach during a difficult time for the club. We'd like to wish Danny all the best for the next chapter in his coaching journey."
