Tom Opacic has handed beaten Super League semi-finalists Hull KR a boost after signing a new two-year contract.
The centre still had 12 months remaining on the deal he signed when he joined from Parramatta Eels at the end of last year but has committed to the club until 2025 following a promising first season at Craven Park. Opacic scored nine tries in 30 games for the Robins as they reached the Challenge Cup final and achieved a top-four finish in Super League. 'When that opportunity came up , I grabbed it with both hands,' said the Australian.
'We'll now set our sights on getting back to Wembley next year and securing a top-two finish in Super League.' Opacic suffered a disappointing end to his first year in England in Saturday's 42-12 loss to Wigan Warriors. Rovers head coach Willie Peters expects the 29-year-old to kick on after getting a season under his belt. 'We’re really pleased to see Tom extend,' said Peters. 'He’s been extremely consistent this year.
