Hull KR sign Broncos winger Kershaw

Lee Kershaw has scored 24 tries in 73 Super League matches for Wakefield Trinity and London Broncos

Hull KR have signed winger Lee Kershaw from London Broncos on a two-year deal following the expiry of his contract.

The 25-year-old impressed for Super League's bottom side last season, scoring seven tries in all competitions.

Kershaw joins hooker Bill Leyland in swapping the south London outfit for Craven Park and will provide competition for places in an already strong-looking backline.

"I look forward to being a part of this ambitious club, and can’t wait to play in front of the devoted fan base that always brings the noise," Kershaw told Hull KR's website.

Born in Yorkshire, Kershaw began his career at Wakefield Trinity before signing for the Broncos in 2023, where he gained a reputation for his kick returns, vision and speed.

"We felt we needed further depth in the wing position and saw Lee as a very good fit for the club," added head coach Willie Peters.

Kershaw becomes Rovers' 10th addition to the squad in the close season since their 9-2 defeat in the Super League Grand Final to Wigan in October.
