Hull KR have continued to strengthen their squad ahead of a return to Super League with the signings of Tommy Lee and Jordan Walne.

Former Hull FC player Lee, joins St Helens on a two-year contract and his experience will be key having made over 200 appearances in a career spanning 12 years.

Lee and Walne, who has joined Rovers on a one-year deal, have both worked with head coach Tim Sheens before when he was director of rugby at Salford.

Former Australia national boss Tim Sheens has made a number of signings since becoming head coach at Hull KR

Sheens said: "Tommy is a highly professional player who is liked and well-respected by his team-mates.

"He was named as captain by the players and staff over there (Salford) before his move to St Helens and he offers us great depth and plenty of Super League experience."

The Australian added: "Jordan plays all of the forward positions except hooker to a high standard. He's comfortable playing front row, on the edge or as part of that middle unit which gives us plenty of versatility."

"He is looking for a fresh start with us and we're happy to have him on board. He's a strong acquisition for the club, he's a very good defender in particular and he understands the game very well."
