Dean Hadley Signs New One-Year Extension

Hull KR are excited to confirm Dean Hadley has agreed a new one-year extension with the club, keeping the forward at Sewell Group Craven Park until the end of the 2026 season.

Hadley initially signed with the Robins mid-season in 2019 from Hull FC and has gone on to make 104 appearances for the Red and Whites. A fan favourite amongst the Red Army, Hadley has become a key part of Willie Peters’ pack and is now one of the club’s longest serving, current players.

Known for his relentless work in attack and defence, the 32-year-old is able to play at prop, second-row and loose forward within the Robins’ engine room.

Last season, the Hull-born forward played in 30 games as the Robins recorded their highest Super League finish and made their maiden Grand Final appearance against Wigan Warriors.

Dean Hadley was delighted to sign a new one-year extension: “I’m really happy to resign with Hull KR and get sorted nice and early. For me, this is the only place I want to be. I love it here.

“I enjoy being in this environment with the lads. As a club, we’re getting better every year.

“Part of my reason for coming here (in 2019) was to establish myself as a first team player. I wanted to be somewhere where I was playing a role and I’d like to think I’ve done that so far.

“It’s proved to be a really good decision for me and I’m looking to improve again (in 2025) and win silverware at Hull KR.”

Hull KR Head Coach, Willie Peters added: “We’re pleased Dean Hadley has signed a new one-year extension at Hull KR. Dean leads through his actions both on and off the field and has deservedly become part of our club's leadership group.

"Deano is well-liked amongst the playing group. One of the biggest compliments a player can have is your teammates want to play with you, and that’s definitely the case with Dean Hadley."
