Hull KR have given utility player Rhys Lovegrove a new contract for 2010.

The 22-year-old, whose current deal was due to run out at the end of the season, arrived at Craven Park from Australia in 2007 as a centre but has played most of his matches this season in the front row.

"Rhys is a good player with huge amounts of talent and potential," said Rovers coach Justin Morgan. "He also adds a different dimension to our game and how we play which is a massive advantage to us."
