Hull KR coach Tim Sheens hopes former Robins star Jake Butler-Fleming can succeed at Toronto Wolfpack after making the move earlier this week.

The outside-back left Rovers after just one campaign at the end of last season, moving to KR’s dual-registration outfit York City Knights.

Butler-Fleming, whose time at KR was heavily hampered with a knee injury, actually featured for the Robins in their pre-season derby victory over Hull FC and scored in the 34-26 success at the KCOM Stadium.

But the ambitious Wolfpack acted fast to paid a five-figure sum to clinch Butler-Fleming’s signature in their maiden Championship season, and Sheens hopes the Australian will do well at the Canadian club.

“I don’t hold a grudge about any player moving on - the move is a full time gig,” Sheens told the Mail.

“York couldn’t and we couldn’t offer Jake that. He is a quota player too so good luck to him and I hope he does well. I thought we helped him last year and I wish him the best of luck.”
