Lachlan Coote signs for Hull KR
The Scotland and Great Britain international has signed a two year deal
Hull KR have signed Scotland and Great Britain international Lachlan Coote on a two year deal, ahead of the 2022 campaign.
The two-time grand final winner, currently at St Helens, was attracted to Craven Park after conversations with Head Coach Tony Smith.
“That was the main reason to sign for the club really. I was having some great chats with Tony on what Hull KR are all about, and what they have in place really appealed to me,” said Coote.
“I’m really big on having that player-coach relationship. Tony was big on it as well, making sure that we could work with each other. I’m really excited for the challenge too, a new start and a move to the other side of the country.
“To move on to Hull KR is exciting. I think the club itself is heading in the right direction. I’m really excited to get across there and see what the City and the fans are all about.
“I know you guys have got a good backing with the fans, so I’m really excited to get out in front of them.”
Tony Smith added: “He’s a good lad. He has plenty of experience and he is ready for a change, and I think we’ll be a good fit for him.
“As we have seen with form since he arrived in the UK, he’s proven to be one of the most consistent performers in Super League.
“He is still a top-class Super League player, and he brings a professional mentality. Winners have a good professional attitude to their job. He’s been really keen to join us and add to what has already been a very successful career.
