Hull KR have been linked with Australian hooker Robbie Farah for the 2018 campaign.

League Express say the 33-year-old is courting interest from Super League clubs as NRL outfit South Sydney Rabbitohs look to offload their number nine.

The Australian international is well known to Robins boss Tim Sheens, with Farah the starting hooker in Wests Tigers' Grand Final success in 2005. Farah also went on to be capped by Sheens for Australia from the 2009 season, featuring eight times for the Green and Golds.

Farah, however, fell out of favour under then-coach Jason Taylor at Wests last year, dropping to reserve grade level, and subsequently joined South Sydney which brought an end to his thirteen-year career with the Tigers.

Farah, a New South Wales representative from 2009 to 2016, has featured 23 times in his debut season for the Bunnies but the Redfern club are listening to offers from other sides.

Rovers are just one club interested, according to the report, as sides are poised to reignite their interest which ended prior to his South Sydney switch. Interest over in the NRL is said to be scarce but Canterbury Bulldogs have been linked with Farah in the last week.

KR currently have Shaun Lunt at dummy-half, with youngster Will Jubb also contracted to the club until the end of 2018. Farah can also play in the halves, with Rovers currently working on their pivots line-up for next year.

Jordan Abdull and Jamie Ellis are on season-long loan deals from Hull FC and Huddersfield Giants respectively and are both set to rejoin their parent clubs at the end of this term, but Rovers also have Danny McGuire, Matty Marsh, Zach Dockar-Clay and Chris Atkin tied up in the play-making roles.
