Tom Opacic commits to Hull KR until the end of 2025!

Hull KR are excited to announce Tom Opacic has signed a new two-year deal with the club, keeping the Australian centre at Sewell Group Craven Park until the end of the 2025 season.

Fresh off an impressive debut season for Hull KR, Tom has put pen to paper and confirmed his longterm future in East Hull with Willie Peters’ Robins.

The Redcliffe native has made 30 appearances in Red and White this season, scoring nine tries with three assists while forming a formidable partnership with second-rower, James Batchelor on the Robins’ right edge.

Having originally joined the club from Parramatta Eels, the 29 year-old has been a mainstay in Peters’ side this season, registering 69 tackle busts for an average carry of 7.66 metres while making 1,776 metres overall in his debut Super League season.

Speaking to hullkr.co.uk on his new extension, Opacic was delighted to put pen to paper and commit to Hull KR until the end of 2025: ‘When that opportunity came up (for the extension), I grabbed it with both hands.

While the Robins made the Challenge Cup Final and the Play-Off Semi-Finals, Opacic has outlined silverware as the next step in the club’s progression: ’Our goal this year was to get that top 4 Super League finish. We achieved that and also made the Cup final at Wembley.

'We’ll now set our sights on getting back to Wembley next year and securing a top 2 finish in Super League next year.’

Reacting to Opacic’s new extension, Hull KR Head Coach, Willie Peters said: ‘We’re really pleased to see Tom extend. He’s been extremely consistent this year. I knew we’d be bringing over a consistent centre.

Tom’s was known as a defensively strong centre in the NRL, I think he’s proven that here and he’s managed to find the line too.

I think Tom’s best years are ahead of him. He’s only 29 and to have him keep improving is exciting.’
