GOOLE VIKINGS coach Scott Taylor rates the dual-registration deal forged with Hull KR as a “good opportunity” for both clubs.
It will work both ways, with Rovers players turning for for Goole at first-team level, and Vikings personnel potentially playing for the Super League club’s Reserve team.
In recent weeks, hooker Lennie Ellis and prop Leo Tennison have both joined Goole on loan from Rovers.
Taylor said: “This is a good opportunity for both clubs as we continue to build a strong and competitive squad while further enhancing our commitment to seeing players progress within East Yorkshire.
“We have a good relationship with all the local clubs and this becomes an extension of that, giving us the opportunity to utilise Hull KR players and also providing them with a competitive and professional environment in which they can develop their game away from the rigours of week in, week out Super League.
“We have a good squad at the Vikings and they will remain our priority, but this partnership will allow us to make quality additions to our group, as and when required, as we’ve seen with the impact of Lennie Ellis and Leo Tennison in recent weeks.”
