Hull KR have gone back into the Championship to secure their latest recruit for 2022.

The Robins have followed up the signing of Featherstone second rower Frankie Halton with that of 26-year-old Dewsbury prop Tom Garratt, who will join them for an undisclosed fee at the end of the season on a two-year deal.

Hull KR coach Tony Smith said:

"We've been really impressed with what form he's in. He's really stood up to a lot of rigours of the Championship and stood out.

"He's a big, strong, ambitious young man with some maturity. Probably in his prime for a prop.

"Tom feels he's ready for the full-time environment and wants to throw everything into becoming a full-time player and fulfilling his ambitions.

"He's the right mould of what we're looking for, to give us more depth and more go forward.

"I can't see any reason why he won't be a success at Super League level."

Hull KR, who recently announced the prized capture of St Helens full-back Lachlan Coote, are also poised to sign Huddersfield utility back Sam Wood for 2022.
