Hull KR sign Tom Amone on Three-year deal
Hull KR are delighted to announce the signing of powerful prop forward, Tom Amone, on a three-year deal from the 2026 Betfred Super League season.
The 28-year-old joins the Robins from Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and will remain at Sewell Group Craven Park until at least the end of the 2028 campaign.
Known for his explosive carries and aggressive defence, Amone brings further firepower to Hull KR’s pack as Willie Peters continues to strengthen his side for next season.
The Australian forward has previously earned a reputation as one of Betfred Super League’s best performing forwards, earning a spot in the 2023 Dream Team.
During his previous time in the Betfred Super League with Leigh Leopards, Tom played a key role in the club’s 2023 and 2024 play-off campaigns, forming a formidable partnership in the front row and consistently ranking among the league leaders in post-contact metres and tackle busts.
Speaking to hullkr.co.uk on his upcoming move to East Hull, Amone said: "I’m really excited to be joining Hull KR from 2026. Speaking with Willie (Peters) and hearing his plans for the club made the decision an easy one – It’s something I definitely want to be a part of.
“The fans, the culture and the direction of the club really stood out to me and I can’t wait to get started next season.”
On adding Amone to his 2026 squad, Willie Peters said: “We believe Tom is going to be a significant signing for the club. Tom (Amone) was one of the best front rowers in the competition last year and was in the 2023 dream team squad.”
“We wanted to get someone who could hit the ground running, and Tom, who’s played over here before, wanted to come back and join our club. It all added up for us.”
On Tom Amone being settled for his move to Hull KR in 2026 by joining Castleford Tigers for the remainder of this season, Chief Executive, Paul Lakin said: “It was very important to us to get Tom and his young family settled in the Hull area when they arrive in England.”
“Despite not having the cap space available for Tom to play for us in 2025, we are pleased that he will play for Castleford for the remainder of this season, ensuring the move to Hull can happen immediately.”
